That very good performance was confirmed in our tests because the lens has just one important flaw, but also one that won't be especially bothersome when it comes to typical uses of this instrument. That's why we award the Nikkor Z 600 mm f/6.3 VR S our Editor's Choice badge without any doubts.
Of course there is a fly in this otherwise excellent ointment – the price of the lens. It amounts to $4800. We completely understand the fact that the unique technology, employed here, allows you to save on weight and dimensions of the lens and new things never come cheap. Still does the price tag have to be so high?
