Built-in 1.4x teleconverter

Extend your reach to 560 mm the instant you need it. A flick of a switch on the right side of the lens is all it takes to engage the teleconverter without changing shooting posture—or taking your eye away from the viewfinder.

Powerful image quality

Stills or video, the phenomenal resolving power of this lens enables incredibly sharp images. The f/2.8 maximum aperture opens up options for working creatively with shutter speeds and depth of field, and bokeh is beautifully rounded.

Pitch-perfect clarity

Shooting scenes with multiple direct light sources in the frame? Nikon’s high-performance anti-reflective Meso Amorphous Coat combats ghosting and flare by eliminating incidental light coming from both diagonal and vertical directions.

Unwavering AF

The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S doesn’t do ‘almost’. Nikon’s Silky Swift VCM autofocus system with optical ABS encoder delivers phenomenally fast focusing with spot-on subject acquisition and tracking. From a hunting cheetah to a footballer’s moves, you get unsurpassed freedom to react instantly to changes in position, orientation, or velocity.

Every inch the professional’s tool

Nikon’s renowned ergonomics give you every advantage out in the field. You can assign functions to the Fn buttons, the focus ring, the silent control ring—and the Fn ring. You can use the memory-set button² to save focus distances.

Tough and balanced

The lens’ centre of gravity is towards the rear for more stable operation and less strain on your posture. Sealing around all moving parts keeps dust and moisture at bay¹, and Nikon’s fluorine coating protects the front element.

Exquisite detail

The optical construction boasts Nikon’s ED, Super ED, and SR glass elements, which counter chromatic aberrations. Colour, clarity, and contrast are superb.

Secure and steady

The removable tripod foot allows optimum balance when the lens is attached to a tripod. A Kensington® Security Slot helps keep your lens safe.

Filter ready

An integrated filter slot makes it easy to drop in filters, giving you even more control over tricky lighting situations.
