180-600 on the way.
Sep 1, 2023 13:09:41 #
I got into NPS when it was hard to get a Z9 and it worked like a charm. I ordered the Z180-600 as soon as I could after the announcement, albeit a little "late" compared to those who got in right at the start. Even so, as soon as B&H got their order from Nikon mine was being shipped...should arrive after the weekend. Well, I'm a happy camper so far, of course, fantasizing about the different configurations re. my bodies, haha. I'm in week six after a reverse shoulder replacement on my left shoulder (I'm right handed, luckily) and things are healing nicely. So now I'm thinking about how I'm going to use this beast...gimble 'on' for some surfing; with the lens hooked to my Z50 to start! Heh...

This the email I received from NPS on the 31st.
Great news! Your NPS priority delivery request has been processed and your NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens is ready to be shipped to Tempe Camera Repair Inc.
Delivery to your dealer may take up to 10 business days, so please arrange to follow-up after this time with Tempe Camera Repair Inc for details pertaining to your order.
Picked the Z180-600 up Sept. 1st. Had a MRI on my right shoulder last week. It looks like the only time I will get to use the lens is when it's on a tripod for now.

I got my Z180. - 600 last week, this is a wonderful lens. Not too heavy to hand hold, fast focus. So much more. You’ll love it.

...me too. But I'm tempted to try hand holding with my Z50, haha, 900mm equivalent sounds fantastic! But a tripod/gimble with the Z9 combo for surfing should be absolutey doable!

Enjoy. It seems to be exactly the long zoom lens that Z users were hoping for.
Cheers and best to you all.
