Premium Optics, Game-Changing Size
An engineering marvel of miniaturization, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens, the latest super-telephoto, full-frame, mirrorless prime from Nikon, delivers premium optical resolution in a handheld build less than half the weight of its predecessor. Powered by a size-reducing Phase Fresnel element, the lens is under a foot long and features a front filter thread of 95mm, making it ideal for sports, wildlife, and action photographers craving optimal imagery without compromising valuable kit space.
Comfort, Clarity, Handheld Carry
At two-thirds the length and less than half the size of the previous version, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S achieves its carry-around design and precision, S-series optical resolution through the introduction of a Phase Fresnel element in the lens and reducing the lens' maximum aperture to f/6.3. Small enough to fit in most kit bags even when attached to a camera body, the lens' 95mm front thread enhances its versatility by allowing the use of light-altering filters. Two extra-low dispersion elements and a short-wave refractive element reduce chromatic aberrations and prevent light dispersion, while the Nano Crystal Coating helps reduce flare and improve clarity, especially with point lights like stars and city lights.
VR Image Stabilization and Autofocus
Vibration Reduction
As if handheld carry wasn't enough, Nikon has furnished further encouragement for freewheeling shooters with the lens' built-in optical Vibration Reduction, which achieves up to 5.5 stops of image stabilization on all Z series cameras. With cameras that support Synchro VR, such as the Nikon Zf, Z8, and Z9 mirrorless cameras, a crucial extra half-stop is gained in image stabilization, the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speeds up to 6 stops faster.
Autofocus
The lens' autofocus is powered by the Nikon Stepping Motor, a near-silent AF drive system designed to keep up with fast, erratic subjects like birds and motorsports. The absence of mechanical noise greatly benefits the use of Continuous AF when tracking subjects while taking video. Additionally, focus breathing is suppressed and a precision electromagnetic diaphragm allows for smooth, step-less aperture adjustments while recording.
Body, Handling, and Ergonomics
While the drastic size reduction grabs the design and engineering spotlight, a number of customizable controls are also effectively distributed about the lens for both ergonomics and efficiency:
- The lens' center of gravity has been shifted toward the rear of the lens and nearer to camera body, benefitting quick stops and accelerations during handheld panning and allowing for the tracking and acquisition of fast-moving subjects.
- Two programmable function buttons, a control ring, a Memory Set button, and a limiter switch put precision control at your fingertips, with the tactile details that allow for quick adjustments without looking.
- The front rubber grip encourages a stable, comfortable shooting posture in any configuration, while the tripod collar smoothly rotates for shooting in any orientation.
- The use of an optional Z series teleconverter can extend the focal length to up to 1200mm, while the in-camera DX Crop mode increases your angle of view by 1.5x.
- The lens' advanced weather sealing is rated to keep dust, dirt, and moisture out of moving parts for safe use in the elements, while a Kensington Security Slot keeps your lens safe from theft with the use of optional pro-grade cable locks.

Small, light, sharp and portable super telephoto lens.
Wish it was a F/5.6, which would have made it a bit larger, which I would not have mined at all. It's small, light, fast AF paired to my Z9, and sharp. Nothing more needs to be said.

My Favorite Lens
I love this lens! Fast, beautiful photos, and lightweight. I can handhold this for hours. For context, I am 5’2” and weigh 115 lbs. I have the z400 4.5 and love that lens but this so far has exceeded in performance. The aperture is noticeable with higher noise levels but easily remedied in LR denoise. I will never regret getting this lens.

Fantastic! Join the 600mm Prime users.
Grab this lens! I use this on the Z9, and I absolutely love it. Instant focus, bright view and stunning images, over and over again. Light enough for hand holding, handles very well. I purchased mine at B-H, as I had a credit there. I prefer dealing with Nikon USA direct, my recent 180-600 purchase from here.

Just purchased the Z9 and the 600mm F6.3, this combination is amazing, 7puunds of ultra-fast focusing with a long reach for wildlife. I have been using the D500 with the 200-400 F4 VII which is a great set up. Still using this set up, but for distance the 600mm F6.3 is sharper and faster focusing with the Z9. The Z9 and the 600 F6.3 is Awesome, and the cost for both is way less than the 600mm F4 lens. We have been Nikon shooters since 1978!

Best yet birding lens. Run, do not walk, to your local camera store, to get one.
I was using the 500 f/4 F mount (a superb lens) with a 1.4X teleconverter on a D850. This lens, on a Z9, is lighter, easily hand-holdable, just as sharp at least, focuses faster, and even costs less (only an arm vs. and arm and a leg :-) Kidding aside, those folks to whom I send copies of my bird-in-flight pictures have commented that my most recent pictures, taken with this lens, are better. So the impartial (well...some of them are relatives :-) jury has spoken.

This is my first ever Super Prime S-line Lens - And I love it!
I purchased this lens mainly because of its size and weight and I haven't been disappointed. I have yet to take a monopod with me, something I would never do with the other telephoto lens I had. As a prime lens, I can feel the quality and never having a prime lens like this I've had to adjust to the reach it provides. I shot the moon, sun, various birds, and aircraft and I can't wait to test it in other ways. The Z 600 f/6.3 VR S has no problem with the TC-2.0x teleconverter. It's AF is fast and the f/6.3 has not prevented me late into the day. Great job, Nikon.
