A new batch of Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lenses is now shipping in the US. The current shipment from B&H is for pre-orders placed in November 2023.

Check the US 180-600mm lens availability at Adorama, B&H Photo, Amazon, Paul’s Photo, and Service Photo.

I find it strange that the 180-600mm lens has been in stock in Canada and Europe for a while, but it is still heavily back-ordered in the US: Camera Canada, Foto Erhardt, Foto Koch, Calumet, and WEX Photo,

Other US buying options:

By [NR] admin | Published: March 20, 2024


The previously rumored Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/3.5-6.3 full-frame lens will be officially announced next week on Wednesday, March 26. As already reported in November last year, this will not be an S-line lens, and the aperture range could be a half-stop faster or slower on both ends:

Nikon rumored to announce a new NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/3.5-6.3 lens

There are still no announcement dates for the Nikon Z6III camera and NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens. I already mentioned that Nikon is trying to push the sales/revenue of the new products to the next financial year which will start on April 1st (no joke).
