Nikon Nikkor Z 180-600mm F5.6-6.3 VR
We dread hearing two words in the camera world at Camera Decision: ' Price increase'! Earlier in July, Leica made widespread price increases with its cameras and lenses which put some of us in tears, and unfortunately, now Nikon has joined the trend with its popular Nikon Nikkor Z 180-600mm F5.6-6.3 VR, the only relatively affordable super telephoto wildlife lens in its Z-Mount lens lineup. The price of the 180-600mm increased from $1699 to $1899, a hefty $200 jump in one day!

To Nikon's credit, the 180-600mm was priced well under two of its biggest competitors before the price increase, the Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM ($1,899) and the Sony FE 200-600 F5.6-6.3 G OSS ($1899 $1,999) and now they are competing on the even ground price wise.
