The Phase Fresnel Advantage.
Optimized for handheld use, the lightweight and compact design is made possible thanks to a Phase Fresnel lens element. It not only reduces the size and weight of lens elements but also effectively compensates for chromatic aberrations, ensuring high optical performance.
Revel in Stunning Details.
Witness the beauty and detail of feathers with high-resolution images. The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S, with its PF lens element, two ED glasses, and one SR lens element, suppresses axial chromatic aberration. Nano Crystal Coat and optimized PF lens element positioning reduce ghosting, ensuring consistently sharp, high-resolution images, even at a 1200-mm range with a teleconverter.
Capture without Shake.
With up to 5.5-stops2 VR, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S ensures sharp images by countering camera shake. Choose NORMAL mode for optimal conditions, providing VR performance equivalent to a 5.5-stops2 increase in shutter speed. SPORT mode is perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects, offering a stable viewfinder image. The lightweight body complements SPORT mode for panning shots and tracking moving objects, even achieving a powerful Synchro VR at up to 6.0-stops3.
Harmony with Nature.
Designed for the sound of silence, the Stepping Motor (STM) ensures excellent quietness and response speed. Ideal for shooting wildlife or fast-moving subjects, the reduced operational sounds during focusing and movie recording enhance your shooting experience.
"The excellent AF speed really helped me shoot the fast, unpredictable subjects I work with. The powerful stabilisation is useful, too, letting me shoot hand-held even at 1/200th. It’s compact and surprisingly light for a 600mm lens, so it was easy to carry wherever I went, and the long focal length helps you remain discreet and get more authentic, striking photos."

Effortless Operation.
Every aspect of the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S is designed for ease of use. With excellent dust & drip resistance, strategically positioned operational controls, and a fluorine coat for anti-fouling, this lens ensures superior usability. Sealing on moveable parts and a rubber gasket on the lens mount provide superior dust & drip resistance. The Fluorine coat repels dust or dirt, making it easy to clean, allowing you to stay focused on your subject, even in changing weather conditions.
L-Fn Buttons for Your Convenience.
Operational controls are positioned consistently with other super-telephoto prime lenses, offering a stable and natural grip with non-slip rubber. Four L-Fn2 buttons and one L-Fn button enhance operability and customization without relying on visual confirmation. The Memory recall function5 saves frequently used focus positions for quick recall.
Designed for Videos.
With enhanced video features, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S takes your video mode to new heights.
Quiet Operation
Minimized lens drive and operational sounds prevent them from being recorded, even in quiet situations. A "click-less" control ring eliminates unnecessary operational sounds during video recording.
Natural Videos Achieved
Effective focus-breathing compensation6 reduces shifts in the angle of view when adjusting focus, ensuring natural and smooth videos.
Stable Exposure with Smooth Aperture Changes
Delivering natural brightness changes, the lens allows users to create smooth videos with stable aperture control.
