Product Overview

Shoot for greatness with the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S from Nikon. Ideal for sports and wildlife and offering impressive reach with impressive speed, this super-telephoto lens is characterized by its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and sophisticated optical, autofocus, and VR systems. Distinguishing itself among most prime lenses, this 400mm lens features a built-in 1.4x teleconverter to allow for on-the-fly switching to an effective 560mm f/4 lens for greater reach.

A newly designed Meso Amorphous Coat, together with the lens' ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats, provide outstanding anti-glare performance when working in strong lighting and backlit conditions. Balancing the optical merits of the lens, a multi-focusing system combines Silky Swift VCM autofocus with a powerful STM stepping motor for quiet, fast, and precise autofocus performance. Additionally, Vibration Reduction image stabilization reduces the appearance of camera shake by approximately 5.5 stops and supports Synchro VR for more refined stabilization when paired with compatible cameras.

Features:

Built-in 1.4x teleconverter allows you to instantly extend your reach to 560mm simply by flipping the right-hand switch. Since the teleconverter is integrated within the lens housing, it is optically matched to the lens for improved imaging performance and also fully maintains the lens's weather sealing.

Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture excels in low-light situations and also benefits from controlling depth of field using selective focus techniques.

S-Line optical design incorporates ground aspherical and short-wavelength refractive (SR) elements, which control a variety of aberrations in order to produce high sharpness, clarity, and accurate colour rendering.

Newly designed Meso Amorphous Coat controls incidental light from any direction and provides outstanding anti-glare performance. Combined with the lens' ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats, these coatings prevent ghosting, reflections, and flare in order to realize improved contrast and clarity when working in strong lighting and backlit conditions.

Benefitting video use, the Silky Swift VCM is also especially quiet and the multi-focusing system also greatly reduces focus breathing.

Vibration Reduction image stabilization reduces the appearance of camera shake by approximately 5.5 stops to better enable handheld shooting in low-light situations. Synchro VR is also supported when paired with compatible cameras, which combines in-body VR with optical VR for improved results.

Customizable Fn buttons, Fn ring, and Memory Set button work in conjunction with camera-based Fn buttons for quickly changing exposure settings, focus position, and other customizable functions.

Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.

Rotating tripod collar offers mounting stability when shooting atop a monopod or tripod.

Dust and moisture resistant design protects the lens from inclement weather conditions.

Compatible with optional Z-Teleconverter TC-1.4x and TC-2x to further extend the reach of this lens.

Key Features

FAQs

What advantages does the built-in 1.4x teleconverter provide for wildlife photography?

The built-in 1.4x teleconverter allows for seamless switching to an effective focal length of 560mm, which is particularly beneficial for wildlife photography. This added reach enables photographers to capture distant subjects without sacrificing image quality, as the teleconverter is optically matched to the lens. This ensures that the sharpness and clarity are maintained while providing the flexibility to frame shots effectively in dynamic environments.

How does the Vibration Reduction (VR) system enhance shooting in low-light conditions?

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens features a Vibration Reduction system that can reduce the appearance of camera shake by approximately 5.5 stops. This is particularly advantageous in low-light situations where longer shutter speeds are necessary. By stabilising the image, the VR system allows photographers to capture sharp images without the need for a tripod, making it easier to shoot handheld and react quickly to changing scenes.

What are the benefits of the Meso Amorphous Coat and other optical coatings on this lens?

The Meso Amorphous Coat, along with ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats, significantly enhances the lens's performance in challenging lighting conditions. These coatings effectively control incidental light and reduce glare, reflections, and flare, which can compromise image quality. As a result, photographers can achieve improved contrast and clarity when shooting in bright or backlit environments, making this lens ideal for outdoor sports and wildlife photography.

Can the lens be used for video recording, and what features support this?

Yes, the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens is well-suited for video recording due to its Silky Swift VCM autofocus system, which operates quietly and efficiently, reducing focus breathing. This makes it ideal for capturing smooth, professional-quality video footage. Additionally, the programmable control ring allows for precise adjustments, whether for focus or exposure settings, enhancing the overall videography experience.

How do the customizable Fn buttons and control ring enhance the shooting experience?

The customizable Fn buttons and control ring on the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens allow photographers to personalise their settings for quick access to frequently used functions. This flexibility enables faster adjustments to exposure settings, focus positions, and other critical controls without needing to navigate through camera menus. This feature is especially valuable in fast-paced shooting situations, such as sports or wildlife photography, where every second counts.

What makes the optical design of this lens superior for capturing sharp images?

The lens incorporates S-Line optical design, which includes ground aspherical and short-wavelength refractive (SR) elements specifically engineered to minimise various optical aberrations. This advanced design enhances sharpness, clarity, and accurate colour rendering across the frame. Such precise optical engineering ensures that images produced by this lens are of the highest quality, making it an excellent choice for professional photographers.
