The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the first Z-mount lens to feature Nikon’s new autofocus system, which utilises a high-speed rotating voice coil motor (VCM) and an optical ABS encoder: the autofocus is extremely fast and quiet, enabling precise subject detection and tracking. It is also the first Z-mount lens to feature Nikon’s new meso-amorphous coating, offering the highest anti-reflective performance in NIKKOR history. This new coating uses particles smaller than nanoparticles to ensure remarkable control over ghosting and flare: clarity is perfect, even in scenes with multiple direct light sources within the frame.

The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S offers further design advantages: it impresses with its light weight, which makes this super-telephoto lens easier to handle. The robust and perfectly balanced lens is fully sealed around all moving parts and has a rear-shifted centre of gravity for more stable operation. The controls can be individually customised for the perfect setting in any situation, including by assigning functions to the lens’s Fn ring.

This fast, robust and reliable 400mm full-frame super-telephoto lens with integrated teleconverter breaks all boundaries. Make the most of all your experience and every detail of your planning.

Integrated 1.4x teleconverter

Extend the reach to 560mm – when required. Simply flip the switch on the right-hand side of the lens to activate the teleconverter. Without changing position or taking your eye off the viewfinder.

Unwavering AF

Nikon’s autofocus system, featuring Silky Swift VCM and an optical ABS encoder, delivers phenomenally fast focusing with pinpoint subject recognition and tracking.

Impressive image quality

The maximum aperture of f/2.8 opens up a wide range of possibilities, and the bokeh is beautifully rounded. The built-in image stabiliser offers an advantage of 5.5 stops.

Colours, clarity and contrast are outstanding

Nikon’s high-performance, anti-reflective meso-amorphous coating combats ghosting and flare. Lenses made from ED, Super ED and SR glass counteract chromatic aberrations.

Robust and well-balanced

The lens’s centre of gravity is shifted rearwards to ensure more stable operation. Sealing of all moving parts keeps dust and moisture out (1), and Nikon’s fluorine coating protects the front element.

Customisable controls

It’s entirely up to you which functions you want to access using the function buttons, the focus ring, the silent adjustment ring and the function ring. You can use the memory button to save distance settings.

Safe and reliable

The removable tripod foot ensures optimal balance when the lens is mounted on a tripod. A Kensington® security slot keeps your lens safe.

Filter thread

An integrated filter compartment makes it easy to insert filters and gives you even more control in difficult lighting conditions.
