Get closer and bolder with the new Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 Lens, Nikon’s latest telephoto zoom lens, which enables creative brilliance with its compact design and exceptional operability

Shoot diverse scenes, from majestic landscapes to detailed portraits with the NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 broad focal length of 70-180mm.

Users who love capturing landscape photos (at the 70mm end) will appreciate the ability to stop down the lens’ aperture, which creates high-resolution images with clear details.

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor photography, the lens features a zoom lock switch that allows easy operation using the left hand while holding the lens. Furthermore, its dust-and-drip resistant design helps to prevent dust and liquid from entering the lens.

Exceptional operability

You will love capturing the finer things in life with the NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 AF close-up performance with a minimum focus distance of just 0.27m (at the maximum wide-angle position) and maximum reproduction ratio of 0.48x.

Shooting fast action movements often produce blurred images due to camera shake. With the NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8, you can capture sharp images and videos of athletes in action or their favourite furry friends running in the park, thanks to the lens’ fast AF with stepping motor (STM) which enables quick focusing and a quiet AF drive that minimises disruption from unnecessary operational sounds.

Capture natural shots with the lens control ring that enables the focus and brightness to be changed slowly and smoothly. Even when the focus point shifts from one subject to another, the angle of view is maintained, creating smooth and natural videos with stable exposure. Regardless of the speed at which the focus ring is turned, the focus position moves in accordance with the rotation angle within the set angle range, enabling videographers to control the level of focus they
