About the Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S
Nikon's most powerful super-telephoto prime
Nikon's most powerful super-telephoto prime
Nikon has made getting extreme close-ups from a distance much easier and more affordable than ever. Pair the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S super-telephoto prime lens with your Nikon Z Series mirrorless camera for spectacular, detailed shots from a remote vanage point.
It's great for unobtrusively zooming in on animals in their natural environments — like birds in the trees, in the water, or on the wing. It's equally adept at capturing action on athletic fields of play or topographical details of the moon at night. And it's light enough to carry with you all day long.
Enjoy exceptional image and build quality
If you own a Z Series camera you're probably hip to the company's exceptional lineup of Z-mount lenses.
The NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S complements the other high-end glass in Nikon's upper-echelon S Line, offering superb image and build quality. You'll enjoy razor-sharp focus, vibrant, punchy colors, and beautiful out-of-focus elements.
Light and agile
This lens only weighs in at around 5.25 pounds — just a little more than half the weight of the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR and the FTZ adapter you'd need to mount it on your Z Series camera. That makes it much more manageable for a day of shooting in the field than most lenses of its size and quality.
Extend your reach
You can get from 1.4x to 2x more magnification if you use one of Nikon's Z Teleconverters. You'll lose one or two f/stops when you use a teleconverter, but you'll be that much closer to your subjects.
And when you switch your shooting area to DX Crop mode, you can get an angle of view equivalent to 1200mm with the lens alone and up to 2400mm with a teleconverter.
