“Overwhelming” demand forces Nikon to halt Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S orders (report)
Apparently, everyone wants a piece of the Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S –and now Nikon Japan has had to suspend orders
The Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S is experiencing "overwhelming" demand, leading Nikon Japan to temporarily halt orders, according to a report by Nikon Rumors. The lens, which was announced in 2023, has far exceeded expectations with pre-orders far surpassing what the company anticipated. Retailers currently appear to have stock, but the suspension has been active since August 08, with no indication of when orders will resume.
Despite the suspension, Nikon stresses that fulfilled orders will be processed as quickly as possible. While it remains a conjecture, some have speculated that Nikon's struggle to fulfill orders of the Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S could be linked to manufacturing issues, similar to those faced with the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, which was reportedly being manufactured in Vietnam.
