The Nikon Z 400mm has been designed for maximum portability, offering photographers the benefits of a 400mm focal length combined with the excellent image quality of the S-series, all in a lightweight, compact and travel-friendly package.

Wildlife, sport, fast-paced action, distant portraits – this super-telephoto lens captures perfect shots even from a great distance. Weighing approx. 1245 g and with a total length of 234.5 mm, the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is an incredibly handy, top-class lens.

Whether for photos or films, the outstanding resolution of this S-series lens delivers images with beautiful bokeh, colour, contrast and clarity. Nikon’s powerful in-lens optical image stabiliser ensures shake-free shots. The f/4.5 aperture offers plenty of opportunities to work creatively with the available light. The autofocus is very fast, precise and particularly quiet. Furthermore, this super-telephoto lens supports the use of Z-teleconverters, allowing the reach to be extended to 560 mm or 800 mm.

Thanks to the modern and innovative lens design, the lens’s centre of gravity is closer to the camera body, making it easier to track, pan and stop. Photographers can hold the lens in a more comfortable position when shooting handheld and get into position more quickly to capture fleeting moments. The controls are fully customisable. The highly effective weather sealing protects both the lens and the connection to the camera.

Maximum aperture f/4.5

Fast-moving subjects. Beautiful bokeh. The f/4.5 aperture opens up scope for creative control over shutter speed and depth of field. Capture fast action and make subjects stand out against a busy background – images remain sharp even at wide-open aperture.

Impressive stability

Nikon’s powerful in-lens optical image stabiliser gives you an advantage of 5.5 stops¹. Never before has handheld photography been so easy. When using the Z 9, Synchro-VR combines the image stabilisers in the lens and the camera to achieve an effectiveness of up to 6.0 stops.²

High-performance optics

Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat supports the optical design by highly effectively reducing ghosting and flare, even when light enters the lens at an angle. Super-ED, ED and SR glass elements minimise chromatic aberration from the centre of the image to the edges.

Smooth footage

Quiet focusing, reduced ‘focus breathing’ and smooth aperture control make this lens ideal for shooting footage with beautifully compressed backgrounds.

Fully customisable

You can assign various functions to the L-function buttons and the silent control ring, and save distance settings using the memory button.
