Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this lens a bit worried that I'd not get the length required or the sharpness needed compared to the 600mm prime. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well this handles birds and larger animals. It's heavy, but not too cumbersome. Absolutely worth the price tag, and you won't have to break the bank going for the 600mm prime. The flexibility added for going from 180-600 is so helpful as well.

Excellent device !!!! If you like wildlife photography. Highly recommended A little bit heavy but it does a phenomenal job !!!

This lens has been a perfect addition to my Nikon Z 7II camera. It does a great job in low light conditions. I find that I do not need to do much post editing after a day of shooting. I love this lens!

Perfect addition to my stable of lenses. This is just the lens that the Z system needed. Internal zoom is great, weight is nice for a lens of this zoom range. Perfect for wildlife, outdoor sports, and insects. Crisp and sharp images when paired with my Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z8. Wish I would've jumped on this when it was cheaper. The price has gone up since it's release but still worth every penny. Oh, the lens cap is not hard to take off, it has a button on the side.....

Great lens it captures the rocket launches at Cape Canaveral!

Very good lens. Feels solid, very nice zoom (especially on my Z50) and great image quality all at a cheap price

Warning: This lens makes your photos look way too professional. I showed one to my wife — now she thinks I’m hiding a second job as a photographer

Amazing lens. Works great for sports, birds l, insects and capturing the moon! Works amazing on my z8.

EXCELLENT PURCHASE! The process was easy, painless and the lens is SUPER DUPER!

This lens is great for wildlife. It’s sharp and crisp and is perfect for what I wanted to use it for. You can’t beat the price.

This is simply the best value out there in a telephoto lens and from what i’ve read works well with the 1.4 teleconverter.

The Nikon Z 180–600mm f/5.6–6.3 VR has been a fantastic lens for me. I love the reach and sharpness, especially for wildlife and outdoor shooting. The VR works well handheld, and while it’s a bit heavy, the versatility makes it worth carrying.

The Nikkor Z 180-600mm is an excellent lens for wildlife/Sport/Action Photographers. The autofocus is fast and reliable, even at full zoom. Image quality is sharp and consistent, and the lens is built to handle outdoor conditions with its weather-sealing. It's surprisingly lightweight for its size, making it easy to handle during long shoots. Overall, it’s a fantastic addition to any Nikon Z setup

Minimal twist of the zoom to get from 180 to 600. High quality photos. It's hefty, but no more than expected. Internal zoom is amazing. Lens hood has a nice button to secure/release. Solid construction.

Got thai for birding and its been a great experience. I have a 24-200 and its nice but this lens is very sharp! Not too heavy to hand carry and very easy to handle. I use it on a nikon z6iii full frame and i get good reach wothout a 1.5x teleconvertor. I would recommend this lens to anyone birding.

Great lens, could not be happier. Nikon makes great lenses! Shooting with this lens in FX or DX is great.

I like it. I like more than I like the z7ii. I have some major issues with the camera but the lens is good for wildlife and going to do some sports photography this weekend. NIKON, you can take that z7ii and shove it where no one can ever find it.

My son needed this lens for his college photography class . He loves the lens now he can get those wildlife shots he needs.

It's a good lens and pretty sharp at all focal lengths. Yes, a prime lens would be sharper for the versatility of a zoom trumps that in most situations. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because I really wish they had gone with a maximum f5.6 aperture design instead of f6.3. Good lens though.

Excellent lens for the price point. It is very versatile since the range is 180-600 if you pair it with like a Tamron 35-150 you have all you need for most scenarios.
