The NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens from Nikon stands out as an exceptional super-telephoto prime, offering an enormous focal length in an impressively compact and lightweight design. This lens redefines expectations by combining extreme reach with portability, making it a game-changer for photographers seeking unparalleled flexibility and mobility in their gear.
At the heart of its design is the innovative Phase Fresnel element, which revolutionizes the optical layout to significantly reduce weight and length compared to traditional designs. This groundbreaking technology not only addresses chromatic aberrations and color fringing but also enables a more manageable and portable form factor. Despite its modest f/6.3 maximum aperture, the lens strikes a perfect balance between brightness and weight, making it a versatile tool for handheld shooting in various lighting conditions.
The optical construction further enhances image quality, with three ED glass elements and one SR element working together to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations and ensure accurate color rendering. The Nano Crystal Coat provides comprehensive anti-glare protection, minimizing ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color accuracy, even in challenging lighting situations.
Autofocus performance is exceptional, thanks to the multi-focus system powered by two synchronized AF drive units. The stepping motors deliver smooth and quiet autofocus, ideal for both stills and video shooting. Full-time manual focus override allows for precise control, while the internal focusing design maintains the lens's overall length and promotes faster focusing speeds. Vibration Reduction image stabilization offers up to 5 stops of compensation, enabling sharp handheld shots even in low-light conditions. Synchro VR support further enhances stabilization when paired with compatible cameras, providing up to 5.5 stops of compensation for improved image quality.
The lens's physical design is equally impressive, with a well-balanced center of gravity around the tripod mount for smooth panning. The tripod mount rotates for easy switching between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations, while intuitive controls ensure quick access to essential settings without taking your eye off the viewfinder. Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, the lens features advanced weather sealing, a durable magnesium alloy body, and a fluorine coating on exposed elements for easy cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the Memory Set button allows for storing focusing positions, perfect for capturing fleeting moments with precision.
Overall, the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens redefines the possibilities of super-telephoto photography, offering unmatched reach, portability, and performance for photographers who demand the best.
