Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens

The Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S is a lightweight, full-frame, supertelephoto prime lens with built-in 1.4x teleconverter. With its fast f/2.8 aperture and phenomenal AF performance, this is a formidable lens for sports, wildlife, and nature photography. Image quality is exceptional whether shooting at 400mm, or at 560mm with the built-in 1.4x teleconverter activated. The new Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (VCM) focusing system with optical ABS encoder, so autofocus is faster and quieter, with spot-on subject acquisition and tracking. It's also the first Z lens to feature Nikon’s new Meso Amorphous Coat, which offers the highest anti-reflection performance in NIKKOR history. This coating employs particles smaller than nano particles to confer remarkable control over ghosting and flare - clarity is pitch-perfect, even if shooting scenes with multiple direct light sources in the frame.

This Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 also boasts an impressively lightweight build, which makes this super-telephoto lens easier to handle. Tough and perfectly balanced, the lens is fully sealed around all moving parts and its centre of gravity is towards the rear for more stable operation. Controls can be customised for the perfect setup in any situation, including by assigning functions to the lens’ FN ring.

Built-in 1.4x teleconverter
Extend your reach to 560mm 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.

Meso Amorphous Coat
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.

Silky Swift VCM AF
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.

Ergonomics
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 button 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.

Optical construction
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.

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