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.....

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!

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

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.

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.

So far, I love it. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but love the function buttons and the way the hood mount attaches. I also love that the length is fixed even when zoomed.

Great Telephoto Lens for Wildlife Photography

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

Very sharp lens. The bokeh is outstanding. In my opinion, optically superior to the Sigma 60-600 mm The only negative is that they do not provide a case for this lens.

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.

Box is destroyed due to shipping.

My problem is not with the lens itself (as of yet). I am so upset about the shipment of my order. I wanted to buy in person, however no stores around me had one in stock. So, I decided to order online......ugh. The box is badly damaged. It was inside another box, but there was no "cushion" or bubble wrap. I am hoping that my lens is not damaged. I JUST received it about an hour ago. I'm hoping all is well. I will attach pictures. I would not advise to have it shipped...which I should have known. Oh, and I am one of the people who saves their boxes.

While it is a little slower (f-stop wise) than the older 200-500mm, this lens is an improvement in every way. When paired with one of the newer Z series cameras. Use with a Z8 or Z6iii if you can afford them; otherwise it should work great with a Z50ii. I have used it on a Z8, and have been thrilled with the autofocus. I held on to my D800E and D750 kit this long, because I wasn't willing to sacrifice autofocus. Nikon has really done a great job here, so unless you are in the market for $15,000 lenses...you will truly enjoy the experience and results you get with the 280-600mm.

I’m really pleased to this lens. It’s sharp very easy to use the focus ring with its short throw. It’s wonderful and I would highly recommend this lens to anyone.
