The Nikon Z 600mm f/4 is the craziest lens I've ever used for photography. In this video I take a look at the specs, my likes and dislikes, use cases, and some alternatives.

My shoulders are sore just thinking about hand holding that lens for an airshow. I'm with you that I will never be able to purchase that lens but I picked up the 180-600 last year and was surprised how good it is so if you are looking for replacement for your 150-600 I highly recommend it. I don't think I'd ever use a 600mm prime for air show but I can see how using that quality of a lens would be fun to shoot. A show I went to last year had the 800mm with him (secondary lens). Something about getting that close feels like it would be cool to try. You didn't mention it in your video (At least I don't think you did) was switching over to DX crop. I know you mentioned 4K. I actually have fn1 set to toggle between FX and DX and its nice to be able to punch in every now and then. Great video and I hope you get monetized soon.

Thanks! Ya it’s a beast to hold. You’re right, I completely glossed over doing crop mode in the camera 😂 I’m guessing that happened because I never do it and just crop after in Lightroom if needed.

I have been hitting a tidal creek looking for diving ospreys, (no luck so far) & there is a fair number of Nikon owners shooting with the lens featured here, the 8oopf & the 600pf are being used & they all love them. I see some really nice bird photos posted on a forum with the 600pf.

I love the slip in filters but I'd prefer the 600 PF - lighter and much more practical ... 🦘

It's refreshing to see a review of a lense that features various subjects not soley Birds It be good to see how the tc is capturing ships far offshore

Wish I still had it! I’m actually in Croatia right now and would have been great to give that a try.

@@willchaneyphoto Aprt from the Sigma , What other long reach lense do you use . I still use a sigma tho will be changing it at some point . I found the USB Dock to be a waste of money . No no updates in 5 yrs

Heavy. I use heandhold my 600PF. Good with a tripod and Z9.

Brilliant review, thanks! I have two Sigma 150-600mm lenses because my first one looses AF until paired with an SLR which seems to reset it! This does beg the question, do you have the standard version of this lens, or the Sport version? Thx.

@willchaneyphoto Ай бұрын

Thanks! I’ve got the contemporary. I’ve always wondered how it really compares to the sport.

How good is the clarity of images when capturing Jets at 35,000ft etc

I’ll have to remember to pull the one I took of an Emirates A380 that flew over during the airshow. I never actually looked at it on the computer but I know I snapped a few.

You need a caddie to carry that for you.

Same conclusion for me , the Nikon Z 600 mm F4 is very expensive I have bought the Nikon Z 800 mm F 6.3 very easy to make pictures handhold , and in the Netherlands almost 9000 Euro's cheaper
