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.

Thank God … this time you didn’t say it’s a Gorilla Focus problem with Nikon and they suck 😂 Truth is Nikon is on a roll and now it has even better lens collection than any other system period and a topping on that is Z9 and Z8. You can’t say Nikon sucks anymore. Which other system has this kind of lens collection at “affordable” price points with “great quality”: 1) Z 400 4.5 - what a lens - no match for it in other systems 2) Z 100-400 mm f5.6 3) Z 180-600 4) Z 70-180 5) Z 400 f2.8 with inbuilt TC (Game changer no one has it) 6) Z 600 mm f4 with inbuilt TC (no other system has this kind of lens) 7) Z 800 mm f6.3 - $6500 telephoto lens… no other system has it… period. Whole bunch of other small primes and medium telephoto lenses They just need to release Z500 equivalent of D500… all other systems are then done for good.

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.

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.

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!

@Caveman2085 11 ай бұрын

The 100-500L competes in the premium ~75mm aperture class, along with the Z100-400. You pay the extra bucks for better optics and half the weight. Canon don't have a lens in this class at all at the moment, but it's likely they will. Maybe something more like a 300-800 5.6-8 to switch things up a bit.

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.

(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.... )

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.

This lens looks awesome. I was looking at the Sigma/Tamron 150-600, or even the Sigma 60-600. The fact that this is a Z lens, no need for an FTZ adapter is a win. The biggest one for me is the internal zoom. The price as well is absolutely insane. This is definitely on my wish list.

i own the f-mount 200-500, i find the image jumping horribly when the image stabilization is active on the lens to the point it drives me nuts when framing a shot is useless, does this lens have the same issue?

Now we just need a mirrorless version on the D500 and I will be fully back to Nikon 🤪

Z8, and it also gives you full frame

@jamesma524 11 ай бұрын

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.

@@jamesma524 When adjusted for inflation the Z8 is only $500 more than the D500 when new.

Just wanna know is it sharper than the Sigma 60-600 for F-mount?

Off-topic somewhat but I’m assuming you apply your fro pack presets to all of your pictures… Would it be possible to add which preset (if any) you’re using when you display the photos?

@froknowsphoto 11 ай бұрын

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

Thank you for your hint about the Teleconverter. I had the same with a SIGMA TC-1411 (1,4x L-Mount). The quality was noticeably worse with the Teleconverter than without.

Could you make a comparison video between the 200-500 F-mount and the 180-600? I'd really like to see if it's worth the change!

How does this compare to the Sigma 150-600mm

Nikon system is getting more and more room to play with right now, I have a R6 and still stuck with old tamron EF lens because RF lens is rare like Unicorn and too expensive for hobbyist like me. Hope Canon will official allow third-party lens really soon.

Even if they do (which I highly doubt) it will take years and years to form a respectable third party lens lineup
