About this item
- F/2.8 difference. The lens is twice as bright as an f/4 lens, giving you more control of light, more depth of field and more range of expression.
- Low-light detail. On a Full-frame/FX-format Z series mirrorless camera with in-body image stabilization you can slow down your shutter speed to gather more light without causing camera blur or raising the ISO.
- Versatile close shooting. Get as close as 0.68 inches at the 70mm zoom position and 2.79 feet at the 180mm zoom position for photos and videos that reveal the smallest details. Pairs great with Z teleconverters. Increase your reach by 2x (up to 360mm) with the Nikon Z Teleconverter 2.0x or 1.4x (up to 252mm) with the Z Teleconverter 1.4x (sold separately).
- Suppressed focus breathing. When recording video, smoothly transition focus from foreground to background with virtually no change to the angle of view.
- Lightweight and compact. With an approximate weight of 795g and under 6 inches in size, this is a lens for being on-the-go.

From the manufacturer
Essential f/2.8 telephoto zoom, smaller than ever.
One of the most popular focal length/aperture combinations. Enough reach for wildlife, sports and events. Wide enough for portraits, landscapes and everyday shooting. Beautiful background blur. Outstanding low-light performance. In a compact size—and affordability—that defies convention.
-
The f/2.8 difference.
The NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 is twice as bright as an f/4 lens. This gives you more control of light, more depth of field and more range of expression.
-
Beautifully blurred backgrounds.
The shallow depth of field of the f/2.8 aperture combines with the natural compression of the telephoto focal length for a stunning three-dimensional effect.
More detail in low light.
On a Full-frame/FX-format Z series mirrorless camera with in-body image stabilization, you can slow down shutter speeds to gather even more light without causing camera blur or raising ISO settings.
-
Telephoto versatility.
Cover a huge range of shots with a single lens, from landscapes and snapshots to sports, wildlife and portraits.
-
Macro-style close focusing.
Get as close to your subject as 10.68 in. at the 70mm zoom position and 2.79 ft. at the 180mm zoom position for photos and videos that reveal the smallest details.
When close focusing on flat subjects at f/2.8 in the 70mm zoom position, softness will be evident at the frame edges.
Lightweight design defies convention.
The NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 is the lightest, most nimble full-frame f/2.8 telephoto zoom Nikon has ever created. It's over 40% lighter and smaller than the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S with a smaller diameter. This is a go-to lens for being on-the-go.
Suppressed focus breathing.
When recording videos, smoothly transition focus from the foreground to the background with virtually no changes to the angle of view.
-
Tracks eyes with ease.
Autofocus is powered by a highly accurate stepping motor that makes virtually no mechanical noises while tracking your subject—ideal for Eye-Detection AF, recording videos and remaining silent while shooting.
-
Add even more reach.
Need to get closer to birds, wildlife and sports? Attach a Z series 2x or 1.4x teleconverter and increase the focal length up to 360mm (540mm equivalent on an APS-C/DX-format camera or a full frame/FX-format camera in DX-crop Mode).
-
Resists dust, drips and smudges.
The entire lens is sealed to prevent dust and water droplets* from getting between you and a great image. The front element features an antifouling coating that resists dirt, fingerprints, and smudges and is easy to clean.
*The lens is not guaranteed to be dust- and drip-resistant in all situations and under all conditions.

Preamble: When buying this lens through Amazon, be sure to check which seller you purchase from. If you want a Canadian warranty, be sure to buy from a Nikon-Canada authorized reseller.
Having used the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S VR as well as this lens -- and as much as I am a huge fan of the Z 70-200 -- let me just say: I am keeping the 70-180.
What I like:
- Useful range for event and portrait photography as well as, due to its close-focusing capabilities and smaller size, general photography! This is a multi-use lens of -- I don't wish to be hyperbolic but... -- of epic proportions. It's a lens that can be used in most any setting/ for any type of photography.
- f/2.8 constant aperture.
- Excellent optical performance through the range.
- The throw of the zoom is surprisingly compact and the lens doesn't extend tremendously.
- It's light. Few people will not take it because it's too heavy. I have the Z 24-120 and this lens, while a bit bigger (not by a lot), handles quite similarly.
- IBIS makes this lens tremendously capable in low light. I don't miss the VR for most use cases.
- It's a Nikon in terms of complete integration.
- 1:2 magnification at close focus: It may not be optically perfect at close focus (70mm) but it's good enough for certain types of images.
- The bokeh is pleasing.
- It can be used with Z TCs although I would opt for a 100-400 lens unless the latter is a range you never use.
- Sharpness across the frame is very good which helps with framing.
- Focus is fast and accurate.
Misses?
- It's not a miss for me but no Fn button (if that's of any concern to you).
- No VR but, again, I think IBIS is underrated so this isn't much of a miss.
Lots to like. For general photography or wedding/ event photography, this lens has a lot going for it. While the Z 70-200 S is a spectacular optic, understanding this lens doesn't give up much optically, its added close-focusing and lighter weight offer a greater appeal to me and may to you, too. Highly recommended!
Haven't done any proper tests but out in the field it performs just as well, if not better, in AF speed and accuracy. Don't miss the 20mm it lacks at the long end. Back isn't as sore at the end of gigs. Fits more nicely in bags and pouches too.
