NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S Nikon has announced its fourth super telephoto prime for the Z mirrorless system, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S, which includes 1.4x teleconverter built in. This enables photographers to instantly switch between a 600mm f/4 and an 840mm f/5.6 without swapping lenses.

Whenever I’m traveling outside the U.S. and someone asks me where I’m from, and I say, “Utah,” their face often lights up as they launch into a story about how they recently took this “incredible, amazing” trip there where they ran whitewater rapids on the Colorado River near Moab and then traversed along the edge of a 1,000-foot drop-off on their way to the top of Angels Landing in Zion National Park....
