Nikon just announced Z 600mm f/4 TC VR WILL for system Z.
Slowly, but surely, Nikon is building a formidable mirrorless system. With Z 9 and Z 30, the company has you covered everywhere from the professional workforce to the novice. The original lenses they released offer both outstanding sharpness as well as provide vital breath suppression for videographers. The system has continued to come together this year, with the announcement of several new lenses in 2022. Especially those aimed at wildlife and sports professionals.
And, now sports and wildlife photographers, you might want to start saving money as Nikon just introduced NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR WILL. The high-performance super-telephoto lens is designed to capture the action and includes a built-in 1.4x teleconverter to extend the lens’ reach up to an amazing 840mm in FX mode. Switch to DX mode and this is the type of lens that can handle all kinds of field shooting situations. This lens is 14% lighter than its F-mount predecessor. The fast f/4 aperture will be very useful when shooting in low light situations, allowing users to use higher shutter speeds with sharp results. The lens features an advanced AF drive system that ensures fast focusing, minimal breathing during focusing, and near-silent operation.
I admit that my favorite part of the new lens is the built-in teleconverter. No fuss, you can turn that 600mm into a much longer lens. You can even pair another teleconverter with this lens, essentially stacking them and realizing as far as 1680mm (additional 1.4x + 2x built-in) if you really need to. cover some serious distances. This will be an essential part of a professional photographer’s kit for years to come.
The lens will retail for $15,499.95 and is expected to hit the market in November of this year.
