Pinnacle Choice for Dynamic Photography

Capture excellence with the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens from Nikon. Perfectly suitable for dynamic scenarios like sports and wildlife, this super-telephoto lens delivers remarkable reach coupled with impressive speed. Featuring a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, combined with advanced optical, autofocus, and VR systems, it stands as a superior option. Going beyond the ordinary prime lens, this 400mm lens integrates a built-in 1.4x teleconverter, enabling swift transition to a robust 560mm f/4 lens for extended reach.

Integrated 1.4x Teleconverter

Experience instant expanded reach up to 560mm by activating the integrated 1.4x teleconverter. Seamlessly merged within the lens structure, the teleconverter preserves optical synergy for enhanced imaging performance, while ensuring complete weather sealing. Activate the teleconverter mode to seamlessly convert the 400mm f/2.8 into a potent 560mm f/4 lens, broadening your creative horizons.

Advanced S-Series Optics

Harness the potential of the swift f/2.8 maximum aperture to conquer challenging lighting situations and gain mastery over depth of field, effectively isolating subjects from complex backgrounds. Overcoming chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and comatic aberrations, this lens incorporates two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) components, one Super ED component, two lightweight fluorite components, and a Short-Wavelength Refractive (SR) component. The SR component employs a specialized high-dispersion design, refracting wavelengths shorter than blue, ensuring precise color rendering while enhancing the lens's compact design.

Enhanced Anti-Glare Coatings

Experience the benefits of the newly developed Meso Amorphous Coat, providing unparalleled anti-reflective performance among NIKKOR lenses. It outperforms the Nano Crystal Coat in countering diagonal incident light and matches the performance of the ARNEO Coat against vertical incident light. Additionally, the ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats are thoughtfully applied for comprehensive anti-glare protection from all angles, effectively suppressing ghosting, reflections, and flare. This results in heightened contrast and accurate color response, especially when dealing with strong lighting and backlit situations.

Smooth and Swift Silky VCM Autofocus

The Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (VCM) replaces gears with magnets for swift and precise focusing group movement. A guide bar is also incorporated to minimize focusing vibrations, resulting in smoother continuous focusing speeds. (Caution: Refrain from using this product if you have a pacemaker or similar medical devices, as the magnets might interfere with their functioning.) Leveraging a high-precision sensor derived from robotics, this lens integrates an optical Absolute Encoder (ABS) to detect and communicate lens position with utmost precision, ensuring optimized and fast autofocus performance. Enhancing its usability for video work, the Silky Swift VCM operates with minimal noise, while the multi-focusing system reduces focus breathing, enhancing compositional accuracy when adjusting focus. Full-time manual focus override is available, and the internal focusing design maintains the lens's overall length during focusing for quicker performance. It offers a minimum focusing distance of 8.2' and a maximum magnification of 0.17x without the teleconverter, and 0.23x with the teleconverter, for capturing close-up subjects.

Effective Vibration Reduction

Harness the power of Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization to minimize the effects of camera shake, resulting in approximately 5.5 stops of compensation. This enables more stable handheld shooting in low-light conditions. Synchro VR is also supported when paired with compatible cameras featuring sensor-shift VR, combining in-body VR with optical VR for even more enhanced results.

Professional Durability and Intuitive Handling

The updated design is lighter, weighing 6.5 lb, making it 20% lighter than its F-mount counterpart. The Z-mount version also boasts an integrated teleconverter. The physical design optimizes the center of gravity around the tripod mount for seamless panning, especially on tripods or monopods. The rotating tripod collar allows quick transition between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations. The weather sealing is further improved with rubber gaskets to shield against dust and moisture, while the magnesium alloy lens body ensures lightweight yet durable construction. The front and rear elements are coated with fluorine, preventing dirt, moisture, and oils from adhering and simplifying cleaning. It's also compatible with optional Z-Teleconverter TC-1.4x and TC-2x for extending the reach.
