Premium Optics
Built to provide users with more flexibility, agility, and speed, the Nikon Z 70-180mm Lens features an impressive 19 glass elements arranged into 14 groups to deliver detail-rich clarity even at the 180mm end. Nikon also includes five ED elements, one super-ED element, and three aspherical elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and minimise distortion, cementing this lens as a high-performing option. Combined with the fixed f2.8 aperture, the Nikon Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens allows users to shoot in low light at lower ISOs, or use faster shutter speeds to freeze movement. Bokeh also looks natural and circular thanks to the 9-bladed diaphragm.
Optimised for Video
Combining long reach with quiet focusing makes the Nikon Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens an excellent option for shooting video. Taking video optimisation a step further, Nikon has also included focus breathing suppression to keep the angle view consistent whilst tracking subjects as they move towards or away from the lens. Thanks to this masterful combination, the Nikon Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens achieves cinematic-looking shots whether filming an event from afar, using the lens’ shallow depth of field to make close-ups sing, or getting creative with longer focal length to create a type of parallax effect.
Intuitive Handling
Nikon has poured significant effort into keeping the Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens compact and lightweight. With a streamlined build designed to increase user agility, this lens weighs approximately 795g and measures just 83.5mm x 151mm. Thanks to this, the Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens is also beautifully balanced on Nikon Z series cameras. Operating the lens is just as easy; users can customise the smooth, click-less control ring for how they shoot, and the knurled zoom ring provides a firmer grip for steadier zooming. A zoom lock switch also locks the lens in the 70mm position to prevent lens creep when not in use.
Maximised Protection
With a flexible focal range, users require flexible shooting conditions; knowing this, Nikon has sealed the Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens to prevent dust and water droplets from entering the barrel. This reliable sealing allows photographers to shoot outdoors comfortably, knowing their kit is safe in less favourable climates. Reinforcing Nikon’s dedication to maximising protection, the Z 70-180mm f2.8 Lens also benefits from an antifouling coating on the front element, minimising unwanted contaminants and making it easier to clean.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
