Nikon Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Review: In a Class of Its Own

is an anomaly: lens with this kind of focal length and aperture shouldn’t be so easy to use and inexpensive. So, what’s the catch?Measuring 5.6 inches at the front element by 15.2 inches in length, this is unlike any other high-end 800mm lens seen before. For comparison,is nearly an inch wider and three inches longer. This comparison really gets wild when you look at the difference in weight: the new Z 800mm f/6.3 weighs only 5 pounds 4 ounces, whereas the previous 800mm f/5.

The focus ring is a proper healthy size with rubber ribbing. It has smooth starts and stops, but I find the turn to have a bit more friction than I’d prefer when moving fast. The transition of starts and stops makes all the difference for tougher rings, and while it could be better I still find what we have here acceptable.

The tripod collar on this lens is not removable and does not have nice click stops at each 90-degree turn for fast, no-look leveling. That said, the newalso doesn’t have this, so its exclusion here shouldn’t surprise me although it still does disappoint. On a positive note, this lens has a tripod foot that is very comfortable for carrying briefcase style, whereas that Z 400mm f/2.8 comes with one that’s slightly too short.

I’m well aware this isn’t anything new for super-telephoto lenses, but I’m telling you again that this lens feels different. It feels slim, it feels light, and it makes the honkin’ lens hood feel like it’s from a previous era.

hope sony release one but as a zoom lens.. like 200-800f7.1
