Description

Introducing the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S Telephoto Lens - 1245g, Black. The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S Telephoto Lens is a high-performance lens designed to provide exceptional reach and image quality while being remarkably lightweight for its class. With a super-telephoto focal length of 400mm, it weighs only 1,160g (excluding the tripod collar), making it one of the lightest lenses in its category. This lens is ideal for photographers who require a compact and portable solution for capturing distant subjects, including wildlife, sports, and more.

One of the stand out features of this lens is its compatibility with teleconverters, specifically the Z Teleconverter TC-1.4x and Z Teleconverter TC-2.0x. When used in combination with these teleconverters, the focal length can be extended to 560mm or 800mm while maintaining high optical performance. This flexibility allows photographers to adapt to a wide range of shooting scenarios. Additionally, the lens's centre of gravity is designed to be closer to the camera body, making it comfortable to shoot handheld, even when panning.

The optical design of the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S includes one ED glass element, two super ED glass elements, and one SR lens element. This combination ensures superior resolution and effectively suppresses axial chromatic aberration, resulting in sharp and clear images across the entire frame. The lens is equipped with an optical VR (Vibration Reduction) function that provides an impressive compensation effect equivalent to shooting at a shutter speed 5.5 stops faster, the highest in the NIKKOR lens line-up. This feature ensures reliable picture-taking during super-telephoto shooting or in low-light conditions.

The lens also features Nano Crystal Coat, which reduces ghost and flare effects, enhancing overall image quality. The fast maximum aperture of f/4.5 allows for the creation of large bokeh to emphasize the subject and enables the use of faster shutter speeds without significantly increasing ISO sensitivity. The lens employs a stepping motor (STM) for fast and precise autofocus, making it suitable for capturing moving subjects. It offers quiet operation with reduced operational sounds, beneficial for both still photography and video recording. The lens is also built with superb dust- and drip-resistant capability and features Nikon's fluorine coat on the front lens element for enhanced reliability, ensuring it performs well in various conditions. The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is a fantastic choice for photographers who demand a lightweight, yet powerful, super-telephoto lens with top-notch optical quality and versatile compatibility.
