Nikon Camera Lens NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Black [Nikon Z / Single Focal Length Lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

A large-aperture super-telephoto lens with the mobility to cover two super-telephoto ranges, realistic descriptive power that combines resolution and bokeh, and functionality that allows you to concentrate on shooting for long hours with peace of mind

- The lens has a built-in 1.4x teleconverter and covers two focal lengths in the super-telephoto range, 600mm and 840mm, while weighing approximately 3260g, 550g lighter than the AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR.

- The luxurious lens construction with two SR lenses, two fluorite lenses, one super ED lens, and three ED lenses effectively corrects various aberrations, including chromatic aberration, to achieve high resolution.

- The AF drive motor employs the Silky Swift VCM (SSVCM), which combines a voice coil motor and a guide mechanism for smooth drive.

- The optical tube is made of a highly robust magnesium alloy. The lens barrel is sealed at all moving parts and other locations, and a rubber ring is used for the lens mount to ensure a high level of dustproof and drip-proof performance. The front surface of the lens is coated with a fluorine coating that provides excellent dirt resistance and is easy to wipe off in the event of staining.

Substantial weight reduction while incorporating a built-in teleconverter

Instantaneous switching between two focal lengths of 600mm and 840mm

The two focal lengths can be switched instantly with the switching switch. This is extremely convenient when the distance to the subject changes frequently and you want to quickly change the angle of view, allowing you to capture the decisive moment without missing it. Since the lens is changed less frequently, the risk of dust entering the camera is minimized even in harsh environments. In addition, there is no need to carry an external teleconverter or multiple lenses, greatly reducing your workload and allowing you to shoot a wide variety of scenes.

If you wish to extend the focal length further, you can use the optional 1.4x teleconverter*1 (focal length 1176mm: built-in teleconverter + Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x) or 2.0x teleconverter*1 (focal length 1680mm: built-in teleconverter + Z When shooting movies with the Z 9, it is possible to crop images with an angle of view equivalent to approximately 2.3 times the focal length (focal length 1930 mm: built-in teleconverter + [2.3x] crop) *2.

*1 Depending on the subject, the brightness of the surroundings, and the position of the focus point, it may be difficult for the autofocus to focus on the subject or the focus aid may appear to flicker.

*2 When [Image Size/Frame Rate] is set to [3840 x 2160 120p], [3840 x 2160 100p], [1920 x 1080 120p], or [1920 x 1080 100p] on the Z 9 and [Image Range Setting] is set to [DX], the camera will focus on the full size/FX format The angle of view will be equivalent to approximately 2.3 times the focal length of the full size/FX format.


Compact and lightweight design that minimizes fatigue even after long hours of shooting
The latest processing technology has been used to make the large aperture lens at the tip of the lens thinner and the other lenses further away from the tip of the lens to reduce the diameter of the lens. Furthermore, by using a magnesium alloy for the lens barrel, the lens weighs approximately 3260g, 550g lighter than the AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR, even with the teleconverter built in.

High descriptive performance with both high resolution and bokeh

Extremely high resolution from the maximum aperture to the periphery of the image
The luxurious lens construction with 2 SR lenses, 2 fluorite lenses, 1 super ED lens, and 3 ED lenses effectively corrects various aberrations including chromatic aberration. The sharpness of the image delivers extremely high resolution from the maximum aperture to the corners of the image. Furthermore, even though it is a super telephoto lens, there is little color blur from infinity to close range, and the close range performance has been greatly improved from the AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR. Comprehensive quality control of optical performance, including the built-in teleconverter, ensures high descriptive performance even at a focal length of 840mm.

A maximum aperture of f/4 provides a high degree of freedom in image expression
With a bright maximum aperture of f/4, the camera can use faster shutter speeds in a variety of shooting scenes. This reduces camera shake and blurring of the subject, even when shooting fast-moving motorcycles on a race circuit. In addition, the shallow depth of field provides a large, natural bokeh effect that naturally accentuates the subject and produces a three-dimensional image.

Superior backlight resistance made possible by Nikon's cutting-edge technology
The combination of Mesoamorphous Coat, the most effective anti-reflection coating in the history of NIKKOR lenses, and Nano Crystal Coat, which continues to be highly regarded for its superior anti-reflection effect, reduces ghosting and flare caused by light entering the lens from various directions. Even under harsh light conditions, such as strong sunlight or car headlights entering the image, a clear, crisp image can be obtained.


Excellent Weight Balance
The center of gravity is on the side of the camera and photographer, making the weight of the lens less of an issue than with conventional 600mm lenses, making it easier to swing the camera (pan) when using a monopod and more stable when shooting hand-held.

Vibration Reduction (VR) mechanism with 5.0 stops* of correction effect
The powerful lens-shift type image stabilization (VR) mechanism has a high 5.0-step image stabilization effect, which effectively suppresses blurring and produces clear images even when shooting at ultra-telephoto distances or in low-light conditions, where camera shake is more likely to occur. shift VR in the camera body and lens shift VR in the lens work in tandem. Synchro VR is applied to achieve a higher correction effect of 5.5 stops*. In addition, the SPORT mode, which is highly acclaimed by professional photographers, is also included. This mode provides a stable and adequate stabilization effect in the viewfinder image, making it easy to follow subjects that stop and start moving or change rapidly, and to take flowing shots of fast-moving subjects, making it easy to capture them in the intended composition.

Superior Operability and Reliability to Meet Professional Expectations

Highly rugged, dustproof, drip-proof*, and smudge-proof performance
The lens barrel is made of a highly robust magnesium alloy. The lens barrel is sealed at all moving parts, and a rubber ring on the lens mount is used to ensure a high level of dustproof and drip-proof performance. The front surface of the lens is coated with a fluorine coating that provides excellent stain resistance and is easy to wipe off in the event of staining. This allows photographers to concentrate on their work even under the harshest conditions.

*We do not guarantee complete dustproofing and drip-proofing under all conditions.

Smooth 1X ⇔ 1.4X Switching for Comfortable Shooting

The built-in teleconverter switching switch is optimally positioned so that it can be operated with the fingers of the right hand while holding the camera grip. It allows you to smoothly switch focal lengths without interrupting your shooting, allowing you to continue focusing on a specific subject while changing the angle of view. In addition, all control components such as the built-in teleconverter switching switch, rings, and buttons are located in almost the same positions as those of the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S, so you can continue shooting without any discomfort even after changing lenses.

Easy-to-use rings and buttons and high customizability for superior operability
Knurling*1 processing, small indentations, and other tactile features support operation without visual confirmation. Various rings and buttons can be operated without disturbing the shooting posture. The Fn ring, control ring, focus ring, lens Fn button (1/2), and memory set button can be assigned to various functions, allowing for a wide range of customization for ease of use. The Fn2 button can be used to fine-tune the angle phase according to the photographer's preference*3.

*1 The uneven shape of the focus ring and control ring to prevent slippage.

*2 Compatible models are Z 9, Z 7II, Z 6II, and Z 30 only. To use the memory recall function, the camera's firmware must be updated to the latest version.
