With its lightweight design, made possible by the Z mount and a Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element, this 800 mm lens favours the brave! Take it off the tripod and pan handheld, or go for bolder angles. Catch the shots you couldn’t before.

SHOOT BALANCED

This lens’ centre of gravity is closer to the camera body—making it easier to pan and stop smoothly. You can follow even erratically moving subjects with a fluidity previously unheard of at this focal length.

ALWAYS ON TARGET

The phenomenal resolving power of this lens lets you bring out even the tiniest details of difficult-to-capture subjects. Subject acquisition is blazing fast, and tracking is tenacious. You’ll nail the shot in even the toughest conditions—whether it’s snow spray from distant skis or contrails from a jet.

PIN-SHARP

A specially shaped Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element and Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat significantly reduce ghosting and flare. Nikon’s ED and SR glass control chromatic aberration from the centre to the edge of the image.

FAST, SMOOTH, STEADY

AF is fast, precise, whisper-quiet—tracking is smooth whether shooting jostling race cars or distant wildlife. When used with Nikon mirrorless cameras that support Synchro VR, you can gain up to 5.5 stops vibration reduction.

CINEMATIC

Pan from shadows around the nest hole to a sunlit sky—film scenes with natural shifts in brightness thanks to extremely stable aperture control. Focus breathing is suppressed so you can smoothly shift focus while maintaining framing.

UNWAVERING PROFESSIONALISM

The NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S gives you the advantage out in the field. The lightweight yet tough body is ready for the road less travelled, and renowned Nikon ergonomics put the controls you need right where you expect them. Operation is all but silent, giving you complete control over your environment.
