This is a Review of the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 Lens. I took it out into the real world to photograph at the Philadelphia Zoo as well as the Philadelphia Phillies. I used the lens on the Nikon Z9 and it will work perfectly well on the Z8 and modestly well in terms of auto focus on the Z6 II, Z7 II, Z5, Z50, Z30 and Zfc.

Nikon's telephoto range is the more complete in the mirrorless market right now. Unique lenses like the 400mm TC, the 600 TC, and the 800mm pf. Also common lenses like the. 400mm f4.5, the 100-400mm, and now the. 180-400 completing the line. Finally, if you are willing to use adapters you have lenses like the 300mm pf and the. 500mm pf.

I've been wanting to switch systems (coming from fuji) for a long time now, and it always frustrated me how Canon has the right cameras but not the right lenses for me, while it was the exact opposite with Sony. Now out of nowhere within a couple of weeks Nikon has both. I think once this becomes available, I go grab a z8 + this Badboy.

the Z8 is the best camera on paper when you account for specs and price, but its AF is still a tier below Canon and Sony, which makes its high FPS kinda moot if you're gonna be trashing a lot of shots. Sony would kill the market if they released an A1-spec camera at the Z8's price point. It's been 2.5 years, surely they've got the manufacturing costs down enough that they can do that? If the A9iii is 24MP again, I can't see the point of it. Gotta be at least 33 but even then, 40+ would be ideal.

For many teleconverters their benefit depends on the resolving capability of the central area of the lens. If the lens is acting as an OLPF even in the center, then a teleconverter will not offer any meaningful benefit while introducing many negatives. On the other hand, if the lens is outresolving your sensor, then there will be a massive benefit from the teleconverter.

In a world where E-mount and L-mount aren't open standards and third party lens manufacturers do not exists, you might be right. But imho the value Sigma, Tamron and alike provide to those camera systems makes them the better choice (if value is what you are after). E.g. the Sigma 150-600 f/5-6.3 costs $900 right now, that's about half of what Nikon asks!

I really like the internal zoom. I had it twice were it was cold, stormy and raining and I need to shoot a TV Show MAZ Production. (This days I worked with Sigma 60-600 mm) and even I had a rain cover on it, the rain found his way by sliding the zoom inside and after the half I had change it... lucky it came easily also out but them close to the heatingradiator. But I had to change after the half production from 60-600 to 70 - 200 (nothing else with me). (The rain was so hard and heavy, I weared army-Boots, Jeans a army rain jacket and on top of it one of the plastic Rain-covers giving to the audience (yeah there were hardcore audience this days) and the rain found his way from my boots, up to my jeans, into my underpants, t-shirt to the inside of my shirt und wet all my army rain jacket from inside.... )

I think it's amazing that they kept the price well under 2k, I think it's exactly as expensive as the 200-500 when it first came out

While the Z8 is an incredible camera and the only camera I currently have, not everyone can or want to spend that much money on a body. Z6iii/Z90/Z500 make a lot of sense for many others, although my top choice would remain Z8 even given those choices.

Man do i envy people that have other systems. I made the apparent mistake to stick with canon, moving from EF to RF and boy do they charge for the few lenses available. The 100-500 is like twice what this Nikon costs and probably not better (smaller aperture) and besides that there’s only a low end 100-400. I feel entirely ripped off, having expected that there would be third-party RF lenses just like with the other brands. I would NOT have purchased an RF camera and some lenses had i known at the time that canon would restrict others from offering AF lenses. At all the Nikon Z mount shooters: enjoy the lens, I wouldn’t even hesitate ordering it.

@@michaelgomez4314 I'm waiting until I really need another lens and if there's still no sigma, tamron and non high- or low-end glass from Canon, I'll switch to sony. I will dread the ergonomics, but enjoy the much wider lens selection.

Good idea. We will look into it. But most nature photos and the sports ones are going to be skittles modified.
