Nikon just announced the 600mm f/4 TC VR S IS Super-Telephoto lens for its Z-mount cameras and photographer Steve Perry was fortunate enough to get some hands-on time with it. In short, he's quite impressed.
Nikon has announced the Nikkor Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Super-Telephoto lens that features a built-in 1.4x teleconverter for its mirrorless Z-mount cameras. The company says it offers an unprecedented combination of versatility and powerful performance.
In addition to announcing the new-and-improved Z6 II and Z7 II full-frame mirrorless cameras, Nikon also released an updated Z-Mount lens roadmap this week. The new lineup includes three prime lenses we haven't seen before: an 85mm (probably f/1.2), a 400mm (probably f/2.8), and a 600mm (probably f/4).
Photographers and YouTubers Manny Ortiz, Irene Rudnyk and Gerald Undone recently teamed on on something totally ridiculous. During Sony's recent Kando trip, they got a model, slapped a 600mm f/4 lens onto a Sony a6400, and tried shooting some portraits at 900mm.
Nikon today announced three new lenses: a 16-80mm f/2.8-4 for DX cameras, a 500mm f/4 for FX, and a 600mm f/4 for FX. The 16-80mm brings Nano Crystal Coating and Electromagnetic Diaphragm to DX lenses, while the 500mm and 600mm use fluorite elements for significant weight savings.
