Experience the freedom of an incredibly portable, super-telephoto S-Line lens. Pack lighter and go further. Shoot handheld and nail every shot. With its long reach, brilliant resolution, and comfortable handling, the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S won’t hold you back.
The incredibly portable build puts the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S firmly in a class of its own. Weighing just 1245 g (approx.) and with a total length of just 234.5 mm, this is a super-telephoto lens you can keep attached to your camera.
The centre of gravity on this super-telephoto lens is closer to the camera body—creating the optimal balance for fluid panning and smooth tracking. You can quickly accelerate during handheld panning and stop your movement instantly.
The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is compatible with the Z series lightweight 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. Increase your reach to 560 mm or 800 mm with the same outstanding resolution, and very little extra weight or length.
From tires spraying dirt to an eagle in repose—the outstanding resolving power of this super-telephoto lens lets you capture every shot in stunning detail. Bokeh, colour, clarity, and contrast are all superb, and you can shoot without worrying about glare or backlighting. AF is fast, accurate, and exceptionally quiet. This is an S-line lens that will match your creative vision perfectly.
Speedy subjects. Beautiful bokeh. The f/4.5 maximum aperture lets you work creatively with shutter speeds and depth of field. Freeze fast action and isolate subjects from busy backgrounds—images stay sharp even when shooting wide open.
With Nikon’s powerful in-lens optical VR giving you a 5.5-stop advantage, shooting handheld has never been this steady.¹ If used with the Z 9, Synchro VR combines the in-lens and in-camera VR systems for up to 6.0 stops of compensation.
The optical construction boasts Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat, which counters ghosting and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally. Super ED, ED, and SR glass control chromatic aberration from the centre to the edge.
With two groups of lens elements moving in High-performance optics synchronization, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S is able to focus faster, especially at wide aperture settings where the focal plane is very thin.
Quiet focusing, suppressed focus breathing, and smooth aperture control make this lens ideal for capturing video footage with beautifully compressed backgrounds.
You can assign different functions to the lens’ L-Fn buttons and the silent control ring—and you can use the memory-set button to save focus distance.
Rubber gaskets keep dust, dirt and moisture out of moving parts, including the lens mount. The front element has Nikon’s nonstick Fluorine Coat, which repels oil, moisture and smudges and easily wipes clean.
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
Nikon has also developed Super ED glass featuring even lower dispersion properties and extremely high performance in reducing the secondary spectrum, to minimize chromatic aberration even further, as well as other lens aberrations.
SR is a high- and specialized-dispersion glass lens that refracts light with wavelengths shorter than that of blue. By controlling short-wavelength light, the lens is able to achieve highly precise chromatic aberration compensation so that the colors in your images are more accurately reproduced. It also allows for more flexible optical designs, which allows for compact, lighter lenses to be designed.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
A/M stands for Auto-Priority Manual Mode. This mode also enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation. However, mode switch sensitivity has been altered to reduce the possibility of sudden unintentional switching to manual focus while shooting.
NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.
Photographers need gear that can withstand the elements. Nikon’s fluorine coat effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease or dirt, ensuring easy removal even when they adhere to the lens surface. Nikon’s fluorine coat endures a high frequency of lens surface wiping and its anti-reflective effect also contributes to the capture of clear images.
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.
