Nikon continues to expand its line of Z-mount lenses with the introduction of new models:\u00a0the Nikkor Z 180-600mm F\/5.6-6.3 VR and the Nikkor Z 70-180mm F\/2.8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nikkor Z 180-600mm F\/5.6-6.3 VR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Nikkor Z 180-600mm F\/5.6-6.3 VR is the successor to the popular Nikon 200-500mm F\/5.6 SLR lens.\u00a0The optical formula of the new lens includes 25 elements arranged in 17 groups, including six ED glass elements that help reduce chromatic aberration.\u00a0The weight of the lens is 1955 grams or 2140 grams with the included tripod leg.<\/p>\n

It features an internal zoom mechanism, nine aperture blades and two custom programmable buttons.\u00a0For convenient movie shooting, the lens is equipped with a click-free control ring and focus breathing suppression during recording.\u00a0Thanks to the stepper motor, silent autofocus is achieved.<\/p>\n

The latest Super Telezoom also has a built-in stabilization system that can reduce the effects of vibration by 5.5 stops.\u00a0The minimum focusing distance at the wide end is 1.3 meters.\u00a0The zoom ring has a short 70-degree rotation angle for fast zooming.<\/p>\n

In addition, the\u00a0Nikkor Z 180-600mm F\/5.6-6.3 VR<\/strong>\u00a0lens is compatible with the Nikon TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x teleconverters, allowing you to increase the focal length up to 1200mm.\u00a0Nikon also notes that the lens is resistant to dust and moisture.<\/p>\n

Nikkor Z 70-180mm f\/2.8<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Nikkor Z 70-180mm F\/2.8 joins Nikon’s line of zoom lenses, which includes the Z 17-28mm F\/2.8 and Z 28-75mm F\/2.8.\u00a0The new lens has similar specifications to the Tamron 70-180mm F\/2.8 Di III VXD, but the Nikkor uses a stepper motor instead of the linear drive used by Tamron.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The optical formula of the Nikkor Z 70-180mm f\/2.8 consists of 19 elements placed in 14 groups, including five ED elements, one Super ED element and three aspherical elements.\u00a0At the same time, the lens itself\u00a0is 40% more compact<\/strong>\u00a0compared to the Z 70-200mm F \/ 2.8 model and weighs only 795 grams.<\/p>\n

Autofocus is handled by a stepping motor, which also ensures silent operation when shooting movies.\u00a0The minimum focus distance is 0.27 meters at the wide end and 0.85 meters at the telephoto end.<\/p>\n

The lens also has optimized features for movie shooting, including focus breathing suppression, and a programmable control ring that can be set to control aperture, ISO, or focus.\u00a0The focus position is linked to the rotation angle, providing more precise manual focus control.<\/p>\n
