Nikon NIKKOR Z 70–180mm f/2.8 Telephoto Zoom Lens (Used)
Condition: Used – Very Good
Condition Details: Fully functional with light cosmetic wear such as small scratches or blemishes.
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 70–180mm f/2.8 delivers one of the most versatile and sought-after zoom ranges in photography, pairing a fast constant f/2.8 aperture with a lightweight, compact design that’s ideal for everyday shooting, travel, and demanding assignments alike. With enough reach for sports, wildlife, and events—yet wide enough for portraits and landscapes—this lens offers exceptional flexibility and strong overall value.
Beautifully Blurred Backgrounds
The constant f/2.8 aperture combined with telephoto compression creates smooth, natural background blur, helping subjects stand out with a refined three-dimensional look.
Outstanding Low-Light Performance
When paired with a full-frame Z-series camera featuring in-body image stabilization, you can confidently shoot at slower shutter speeds to gather more light without increasing ISO or introducing camera shake.
Telephoto Versatility
Cover a wide range of scenarios with a single lens—from casual everyday shots and landscapes to portraits, sports, and wildlife—without needing to change lenses.
Macro-Style Close Focusing
Focus as close as 10.68 inches at 70mm and 2.79 feet at 180mm, allowing you to capture detailed close-ups and creative compositions in both photo and video work.
Lightweight, Travel-Friendly Design
This is Nikon’s lightest full-frame f/2.8 telephoto zoom, weighing over 40% less than the NIKKOR Z 70–200mm f/2.8 S, making it an excellent choice for photographers on the move.
Smooth Video Performance
Suppressed focus breathing ensures smooth focus transitions with minimal change in angle of view—ideal for video recording and cinematic work.
Quiet, Accurate Autofocus
A fast and nearly silent stepping motor delivers precise autofocus performance, perfect for eye-detection AF, tracking moving subjects, and recording video without mechanical noise.
Expandable Reach with Teleconverters
Compatible with Z-series 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, extending focal length up to 360mm (or 540mm equivalent in DX crop mode) for added versatility.
Durable, Weather-Sealed Construction
Sealed against dust and moisture, with an antifouling front element coating that resists fingerprints, smudges, and dirt for easy cleaning in the field.
Balancing performance, portability, and optical quality, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 70–180mm f/2.8 is a smart, high-performing telephoto zoom that delivers excellent results and outstanding value for photographers and videographers alike.
