Description

Introducing the Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Telephoto Lens - 2385g, Black. The Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Telephoto Lens is a standout addition to the high-performance S-Line lenses from Nikon, setting a new standard with its impressive 800mm focal length, making it the longest in the NIKKOR Z line-up. This lens is tailor-made for capturing distant subjects like aircraft and wild birds, offering exceptional reach and image quality. When used in combination with teleconverters like the Z teleconverter TC-1.4x or Z teleconverter TC-2.0x, you can extend the focal length to a staggering 1,120mm or 1,600mm, all while maintaining high optical performance, albeit with potential variations in AF performance depending on the subject and lighting conditions.

A notable innovation in this lens is the inclusion of a PF (Phase Fresnel) lens element, which allows it to achieve a remarkable balance between compactness and image quality. Despite its incredible super-telephoto capabilities, the lens weighs in at a relatively portable 2,385g and measures just 385mm in length. Alongside the PF lens element, three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one SR (Short-wavelength Refractive) lens element contribute to superior resolution while effectively reducing axial chromatic aberration, enabling you to capture the finest details of distant subjects, such as the intricate feathers of wild birds. The addition of a Nano Crystal Coat helps in delivering clear and ghost-free images.

The optical Vibration Reduction (VR) function is a game-changer for super-telephoto shooting, providing a compensation effect equivalent to shooting at a shutter speed 5.0 stops faster. This feature ensures reliable picture-taking, even in challenging lighting conditions. Thanks to the employment of an STM (Stepping Motor), this lens offers fast and precise autofocus, making it ideal for capturing moving subjects, all while maintaining a quiet operation that's beneficial for both still photography and movie recording. With its centre of gravity positioned closer to the camera body, the lens allows for more stable handheld shooting, reducing the perceived weight during panning. The lens is built to withstand harsh conditions, featuring superb dust- and drip-resistant capability and a fluorine coating on the front lens element to enhance reliability.

Whether you're a wildlife photographer, an aviation enthusiast, or a videographer, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Telephoto Lens is an exceptional tool that expands your creative possibilities, providing unmatched reach and image quality for capturing distant subjects with clarity and precision.
