Nikon releases the Nikkor Z 800mm F6.3 VR S

Nikon today introduced us to the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S, a full-frame super-telephoto lens for birds, wildlife, aircraft, motor sports and winter sports.

This S-line lens has fast, smooth and reliable autofocus with in-lens VR to keep shots steady with up to 5.5 stops of compensation when paired with the Z9. This lens also supports the use of teleconverters which can extend the reach to 1120mm and 1600mm.

This mirrorless lens is approximately 2.3 kg lighter and 16% shorter than its F-mount counterpart, and its centre of gravity is closer to the camera body. Others features include an array of customisable controls and the lens is protected with advanced weather sealing.
 

Key Features:

Professional super-telephoto lens: 800 mm focal length. Portable, lightweight build and balanced handling.
Pin-sharp: a specially shaped and positioned Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element and Nano Crystal Coat significantly reduce ghosting and flare. ED and SR glass control chromatic aberration from the centre to the edge of the image.
Fast, quiet focusing: AF is fast, precise, whisper-quiet—tracking is smooth whether shooting jostling race cars or distant wildlife.
Powerful Vibration Reduction: in-lens optical VR keeps shots steady. Synchro VR allows up to 5.5 stops of compensation when this lens is paired with the Z 9.
Customisable control: assign functions to the conveniently positioned L-Fn buttons and the silent control ring. Use the memory-set button to save focus distances.
Advanced weather sealing: Sealing around all moving parts keeps dust and moisture at bay, and a rubber gasket on the lens mount protects both lens and camera.
Teleconverter compatible: extend the reach to 1120 mm with a Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x, or 1600 mm with a Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x.
Integrated filter slot: makes it easy to drop in filters for even more control over tricky lighting situations.
Easy lens hood: the supplied HB-104 lens hood boasts a sliding release tab, allowing the hood to be removed with one hand.
