The latest Nikon NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S lens offers an extensive range ideal for photographers specializing in wildlife, bird, and sports photography, combined with an impressively compact design that is a significant advantage over traditional, bulky supertelephoto prime lenses. But what about its real-world capabilities? This outstanding video review examines its performance and the image quality it delivers when put to use.
Coming to you from Matt Irwin Photography, this great video review takes a look at the new Nikon NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S lens. Employing a Phase Fresnel element for reduced weight, the 600mm f/6.3 is quite portable for a supertelephoto prime, but still comes with an impressive array of features, including:
- 95mm filter thread for ability to use traditional filters
- Two extra-low dispersion elements and a short-wave refractive element for reduced chromatic aberrations
- Nano Crystal Coating for fewer flares and reduced ghosting and deeper contrast
- Vibration Reduction offering up to 5.5 stops of compensation
- Nikon Stepping Motor for quiet and fast autofocus
- Reduced focus breathing
- Two customizable function buttons, control ring, Memory Set button, and focus range switch
- Weather-sealed construction for working in inclement conditions
