In addition, it has a good balance when combined with the FX format (full-frame) Nikon Z 6II, Z 7II, and Z 5, so let's take a look at this lens together.
1. Features of the Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8
When it comes to Nikon's mirrorless telephoto zoom lenses, many people may think of the "Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S". This is an "S-Line" lens with top-notch image quality and extremely durable construction, making it a trusted camera for professional photographers, ideal for use on the job, but a bit more cumbersome for snapshot and travel photography, with a total lens weight of about 1,360 grams and a total length of about 220 mm.
That's why the "Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8" appeared. After all, it is light and compact, weighing around 795 grams and having an overall length of about 151 mm. Compared to the Nikkor Z 70-200mm, the telephoto end is 20mm shorter, but it's easier to handle, making your shooting more flexible and convenient.
As with the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, the F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range is very attractive. This is because when the aperture is wide open, the background can be blurred beautifully, and by opening the aperture, a fast shutter speed can be used even in low-light environments. Since you can shoot with low ISO sensitivity, you can get photos with less noise. It can be said that this is a lens that will be very useful for portrait photography, sports, wildlife photography, etc.
The Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8 covers a 70mm mid-telephoto range to a 180mm telephoto range, and it is teleconverter compatible. If you want to zoom in on a distant subject, you can extend the telephoto end to 252mm or 360mm by attaching the Z TELE CONVERTER TC-1.4x or Z TELE CONVERTER TC-2.0x, respectively. It also has a short minimum focusing distance, which allows you to shoot close-ups of the subject in telephoto macro at 0.27m at the wide-angle end and 0.85m at the telephoto end, and because it is dust- and splash-resistant, it is very reliable even in harsh environments.
