The upcoming Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Lens is expected to be  announced on April 4th (±1 day), 2022. Nikon Rumors posted some additional information about the Nikon’s super-telephoto lens “NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR PF S”.

  • Official announcement: April 4th or April 6th (±1 day)
  • Scheduled to start shipping in May
  • Professional-grade lens with “amazing” performance

Considering that the conventional “AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR” is a large lens with a total length of 461mm and a weight of 4,590g for $16,296.95, this new Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens becomes a surprisingly small, lightweight and low-priced lens. Since it is using a diffractive optical element, I am concerned about flare resistance when backlit, but I feel that it is acceptable if the price is $ 6000. It is rumored to be coming soon, so stay tuned for more information in the future.
