Stabilisation uses a marker in the manufacturer model name; no marker is not a negative claim. Price filters use a current price when available.
One limit of this table: it lists only Nikon Z lenses that mount natively on the Nikon Zfc — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.
What these focal lengths actually give you on the Nikon Zfc
The Nikon Zfc has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That works in your favour here: the Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S reaches 1200mm of effective reach, which on a full-frame body would need a longer, heavier and far more expensive lens.
