Product description
Nikon NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S
The NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S is a versatile super telephoto zoom lens from the Nikon S-Line for mirrorless cameras with a Z mount. Its focal length range is particularly suitable for wildlife, sports, nature and travel photography, combining long reach with a design that is easy to carry for this class of lens.
Flexible reach and short minimum focusing distance
The zoom range from 100 to 400 mm allows both tightly framed subjects and distant details. The minimum focusing distance is approx. 0.75 m at 100 mm and 0.98 m at 400 mm. With a maximum magnification of 1:2.6, even smaller subjects can be captured in rich detail.
S-Line optical performance
The optical design comprises 25 elements in 20 groups, including six ED and two Super ED glass elements. Nano Crystal and ARNEO coatings reduce ghosting and flare, while the fluorine coating on the front element makes cleaning easier. The aperture with nine rounded blades supports soft background rendering.
VR stabilisation and fast autofocus
The built-in optical VR image stabiliser supports sharp handheld shots at long focal lengths. The multi-focusing system works with two synchronised autofocus drives and enables fast, precise and quiet focusing. A focus limiter, programmable function buttons, a control ring and the lens info display make operation easier.
Expandable with Nikon Z teleconverters
The lens is compatible with the Nikon Z teleconverters TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x. These extend the maximum focal length to 560 mm or 800 mm respectively. Maximum aperture and autofocus performance change according to the teleconverter used.
