Nikon Z 400mm f2.8 TC VR S

Nikon Z 400mm Lens | Nikkor Z 400mm f2.8

Shoot to greatness with the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S from NIKON. Ideal for sports and wildlife, and with impressive range with impressive speed, this super-telephoto lens is characterized by its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and sophisticated optical, autofocus and virtual reality systems. Distinguishing itself from most prime lenses, this 400mm lens features a built-in 1.4x teleconverter that allows you to switch on the fly to an effective 560mm f/4 lens for longer range.

Built-in 1.4x teleconverter

• The built-in 1.4x teleconverter allows you to instantly extend your range to 560mm by simply flipping the switch on the right.
• Since the teleconverter is integrated within the lens housing, it optically adapts to the lens to improve image performance and also fully maintains the weathering of the lens.
• When using the teleconverter, this 400mm f/2.8 becomes an effective 560mm f/4 lens

S-line optics

• The fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 excels in low-light situations and also benefits depth-of-field control to separate and isolate subjects from a busy background.
• This lens, which helps virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations, color fringes and commatic aberrations, features two ED (ultra-low dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element, two lightweight fluorite elements and one SR (short wavelength refraction) element.
• The SR element features a specialized high-dispersion design that refracts wavelengths shorter than blue; This helps to achieve truly accurate color reproduction and also helps to make the lens design more compact.

Refined anti-flash coatings

• The newly developed Meso Amorphous Coat offers the highest anti-reflective performance of a NIKKOR lens and surpasses the Nano Crystal Coat when it comes to diagonal incident light and matches the performance of the ARNEO Coat for vertical incident light.
• ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats are still applied for even more complete anti-glare protection from all angles, and help suppress ghosting, reflections and flare for greater contrast and more accurate color response when working in intense lighting and backlight conditions.

Silky Swift VCM autofocus

• The Silky Swift Voice Coil (VCM) motor uses magnets instead of gears to move focus groups to higher initial speeds and with greater precision and smoothness. A guide bar is also employed, which helps reduce focusing vibrations for higher continuous focusing speeds. (WARNING: Do not use this product if you have a pacemaker or other medical device. The magnet or magnets in this product may cause medical devices to malfunction.)
• Using a high-precision sensor from the robotics industry, this lens features an ABS (absolute) optical encoder to detect and communicate lens position information with extreme precision to optimize fast and accurate AF performance.
• Benefiting the use of video, the Silky Swift VCM is also especially quiet and the multifocus system also greatly reduces focus breathing for greater composition accuracy when focusing on focus.
• It is also possible to override manual focus full-time and an internal focus design is used, where only the internal lens groups move during focusing, to maintain the full length of the lens during use and promote faster focusing speeds.
• Minimum focusing distance of 8.2' and a maximum magnification of 0.17x without the teleconverter placed and 0.23x with the teleconverter placed to work with foreground subjects.

Vibration reduction

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

Professional durability and intuitive operation

• The updated design weighs 6.5 pounds, making it 20% lighter than the 400mm f/2.8 F-mount, and this Z-mount version features a built-in teleconverter.
• The physical design focuses the center of gravity around the tripod mount for a smoother and more responsive panorama, especially when working on a tripod or monopod. The tripod mount also rotates to more easily switch between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations.
• Advanced waterproof sealing incorporates rubber gaskets to prevent dust and moisture ingress, the lens body is made of a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy, and the front and rear elements have a fluorine coating that easily repels dirt, moisture and oils and is easier to clean.
• Compatible with optional Z-Teleconverter TC-1.4x and TC-2x to further extend the reach of this lens.
• The intuitive "no-look" control design places all frequently used buttons and dials in easily accessible places to avoid the need to move the viewfinder eye.
• Store a focus position with the Memory Adjustment button so you can instantly return to this position by rotating the Fn ring, perfect for capturing fleeting movements.
• Customizable L-Fn buttons can be configured to configure subject tracking, AF lock, image playback, or other modes. The L-Fn2 button can also be accessed from four different locations on the barrel for easy access.
• The focus limiter switch can restrict the focus range to 19.7' infinity and 8.2' infinity ranges.
• The programmable control ring can also be used to control aperture, ISO or exposure compensation.
• Kensington lock bracket to secure the lens in place during remote shooting sessions.
• Use 46mm drop-in filters via the included filter holder.
