Key Features

Vibration Reduction: Achieves up to up to 5.0 stops¹ of compensation. When used with the Z 9, Synchro VR combines the in-lens and in-camera VR image stabilization systems for maximum results with 5.5 stops of VR compensation.

Teleconverter Compatibility: The NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S is compatible with both the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x and Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x which increases the super-telephoto reach to 1120mm and 1600mm respectively with outstanding resolution, no loss of focus points and no need for an additional accessory.

Convenient size and weight: At a mere 5.25 pounds and just over 15 inches, the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S is Nikon’s most mobile, comfortable-handling 800mm super-telephoto to date. The secret is Nikon's proven Phase Fresnel element, which allows the lens to be lighter and shorter with fewer elements while maintaining pristine image quality.

Ergonomic controls. Easily access every button and switch on the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S. Two customizable Fn buttons, a Memory Set button for setting focus position, control ring, manual focus ring and even a focus limit switch can be used without taking your eye off the viewfinder.

Smooth panning. The center of gravity of the lens is positioned closer to the camera for fluid and accurate panning while using on monopods or handheld shooting.
