Super-Telephoto Reach

This 400mm prime lens from Nikon allows photographers to get closer than ever before to produce stunning wildlife, sports and macro images. The AF system is fast, accurate, and exceptionally quiet, allowing smooth tracking when working with birds and wildlife or capturing the height of the action. In-lens optical VR also provides an impressive 5.5-stop advantage, which can increase to 6 stops when combined with the Z9 camera body using the Synchro VR feature. And, with support for using Z teleconverters, you can extend the reach all the way up to 560mm or 800mm.

Extremely Portable Lens

Its incredibly portable build puts the Nikon 400mm f4.5 VR S lens in a class of its own. With a weight of just 1245g and a total length of 234.5mm, photographers can keep the lens attached when walking around to capture any fleeting moments. A balanced design also means the lens’ centre of gravity is closer to the camera body, which makes it easier to track, pan, and stop smoothly. Not only is this lens perfect for handheld use, but with its reduced weight and size, it can easily be stored away when not in use and transported from A to B.

High-Performance Optics

Whether you’re shooting stills or videos, you’ll always get outstanding results with this Z 400mm lens from Nikon. The wide f4.5 aperture allows plenty of light in to capture creative shots with whatever light is available. Nikon’s Nanocrystal coating also helps to dramatically reduce ghosting and flare and Super ED glass elements control chromatic aberrations from the centre to the edge of the image.

Customisable Experience

Fully customisable controls allow you to create a unique user experience. You can assign functions to the multiple L-Fn buttons positioned in easy-to-reach areas on the lens. To save time on shoots and to capture those sudden moments, the memory-set button allows you to save focus distances.

Ready to Tackle The Elements

Capture the perfect shot no matter the weather. The Z 400mm lens features advanced weather sealing with a rubber gasket around every section that keeps dust, dirt and moisture out of all moving parts. Nikon’s fluorine coating is also applied to prevent smudges and fingerprints, and it makes it easy to wipe the front lens clean. These weather-proof features mean you don’t have to abandon your shoot when the weather takes a turn for the worse.

FAQs:

Can I use filters with this lens?

Yes. The Nikon Z 400mm f4.5 VR S Lens has a 95mm thread for attaching additional polarizers and filters. It is worth noting that the existing Nikon Z 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 S Lens has a 77mm thread, so accessories will not be interchangeable between the two.

What is the difference between the Z 400mm f4.5 and the 400mm f2.8 TC Lens?

The Nikon Z 400mm f4.5 VR S Lens has been designed as a more affordable alternative to the Nikon Z 400mm f2.8 TC VR S Lens. Although the aperture is 1.3 stops slower, the Z 400mm f4.5 VR S is 1.75kg lighter and 145mm smaller in length, making this lens an incredibly portable option for handheld users. Also, this lens does not include a built-in teleconverter like the 400mm f2.8 TC but is compatible with Z-series converters.

Does this lens come with a tripod foot?

Yes. The Nikon Z 400mm f4.5 VR S Lens is supplied with a removable front grip that allows you to attach monopods and tripods or assist in handheld use. However, at only 1.2kg, this lens is incredibly easy to hold and transport without the need for additional support.

Can I use this lens outdoors?

The Nikon Z 400mm f4.5 VR S Lens is weather-sealed for use in all kinds of inclement weather. It also features a rubber gasket designed to keep dust dirt and moisture out.
