NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S

Distanced subjects redefined.

Experience the unparallel versatility and comfort when you photograph distance subjects such as wildlife, sports and airplanes with the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S. With an in-built teleconverter, this compact, lightweight super-telephoto lens provides the possibility to change between two focal lengths at a flick of a switch. Experience exceptional S-Line optical performance with the latest Nikon technology in your hand.

Extend your reach readily. Photograph at 600mm, or all the way to 840mm with ease. With an in-built 1.4x teleconverter, you can quickly change between two focal lengths at a flick of a switch to capture all the action from afar. The switch is ergonomically positioned, allowing you to toggle the switch effortlessly, with minimal shift in shooting position.
	Adaptive for further distance. Capturing every detail of distant subjects, now made possible. Expand your reach even further with the combination of the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x or Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x to effectively extend the reach to up to 1680mm¹.
Significantly more effortless. Be ready for hours of shooting without sweating it. Weighing at around 3,260g and measuring at approximately 437mm (L) x 165mm (D) in size, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S is lightweight and compact to be carried around effortlessly. Capture in even greater stability handheld or on a monopod with the lens’ excellent weight distribution.
	Immaculate quality in any condition. Experience the highest anti-reflection performance in NIKKOR history with the Meso Amorphous Coat, a coating system which uses amorphous particles to form an ultra-fine mesoporous structure; and the Nano Crystal Coat that significantly reduces ghost and flare effects from various directions. Deliver images with clarity, even in the harshest lighting conditions.
Fast, Accurate, Quiet. Capture delicate moments with speed and accuracy at near-silent operation with the Silky Swift VCM (SSVCM), an autofocus (AF) drive motor that is enhanced with guide mechanism to minimise vibrations within the AF drive. Meanwhile, an optical ABS (absolute) encoder also increases AF accuracy for outstanding focusing performance.
	Steady shots everytime. Capture crystal clear images at super telephoto distance, even at low light conditions where a slower shutter speed is required. The powerful Vibration Reduction (VR) compensates up to 5.0-stop², while Synchro VR which compensates up to 5.5-stop² when used in combination with the Z 9, further reducing image blur. Now you can focus on framing your subjects.
Stabilised View. See each sequence of action in clarity with SPORT mode. During hand-held shooting, the image in the viewfinder remains as stable and smooth, making subjects easier to track during panning and when taking high-speed burst photography.
	Exceptional S-Line Performance. Experience outstanding optical performance with the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S. A combination of Extra-low Dispersion ED (ED) and super ED glass, fluorite lens, and Short-wavelength Refractive (SR) lens elements effectively suppresses diverse aberrations, colour bleeding and flares, resulting in sharp and clear resolution from edge to edge of the frame.
Capture all moving moments. Designed with videography in mind, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S lens provides you with quiet operation that prevent audio disturbance of important moments. The effective focus-breathing compensation allows users to film a more natural video as the angle of view does not change even when the focus position is switched.
	Robust for any occasion. Durable and tough even in the harshest environments. The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S is built to ensure superior dust- and drip-resistant³ performance with sealings on various parts of the lens barrel, including the use of a rubber gasket around the lens mount. A layer of fluorine coat with antifouling feature is applied on the front-most surface to repel contaminants. Giving you added peace of mind, the lens also comes with a security slot that is compatible with most security wires in the market.
Tailored for you. Personalise your frequently used settings and access them easily via the customisable controls on the lens body – the L-Fn buttons, Fn ring, control and focus ring. Meanwhile, a Memory Recall function4 conveniently lets you assign a favourite focus point and recall them efficiently at a touch of a button.
