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.
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.
