(Open Box) Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 - Z-mount Camera Lens

The Model 20120 redefines the fast telephoto zoom by prioritizing portability without sacrificing the coveted f/2.8 constant aperture. Approximately 40% lighter than the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, this lens is designed for creators who need agility for all-day handheld shooting. Whether you are capturing intimate wedding moments or fast-paced indoor sports, its specialized optical formula ensures sharp results across the entire zoom range, making it a versatile powerhouse for the modern Nikon Z-series photographer.

High-Speed Performance and Bokeh

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Provides consistent exposure and deep subject separation throughout the zoom range. This fast aperture is ideal for working in low-light environments and creating a soft, professional background blur.

Superior Optical Construction: Features 19 elements in 14 groups, including 5 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements, 1 Super ED element, and 3 aspherical elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and color fringing.

Short Minimum Focus Distance: Offers an impressive close-focusing distance of just 0.27m at the 70mm end and 0.85m at the 180mm end, allowing for dramatic "telemacro" style close-ups with beautiful depth.

Modern Speed and Video Optimization

Fast Stepping Motor (STM): Equipped with a high-speed, near-silent autofocus motor that provides smooth and accurate tracking. This is essential for both spontaneous street photography and professional video production.

Minimized Focus Breathing: Specifically engineered to suppress the change in angle of view when shifting focus, ensuring a consistent and cinematic look for videographers.

Teleconverter Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Z Teleconverter TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x, allowing you to extend your reach up to 360mm while maintaining the benefits of the Z-mount's advanced optical path.

Professional Handling and Build

Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighing only 795g, it remains balanced on compact Z-series bodies, making it the perfect travel companion for those who demand pro-level results without the bulk.

Weather-Sealed Construction: The lens barrel is extensively sealed to prevent dust and water droplets from entering, providing peace of mind when shooting in unpredictable outdoor conditions.

Customizable Control Ring: The clickless control ring can be programmed to adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation, allowing for intuitive, tactile adjustments without looking away from the viewfinder.
