NIKON NIKKOR Z 400/4.5 VR S

Described as "the smallest and lightest 400mm Nikon has ever created," the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is a premier super-telephoto lens that combines unique portability with long reach, advanced optics, and capable AF and VR. It's a complete lens for traveling sports or wildlife photographers looking for a portable design and scope capable of photographing distant subjects.

Distinguished among super-telephoto lenses, this 400mm f/4.5 is especially stylish and lightweight, making it the ideal companion for travel or other photographic scenarios where handheld shooting is preferred.

• The sophisticated optical design includes a number of specialized elements that promote an overall lighter and more compact design.
• The modest maximum aperture of f/4.5 offers a practical balance between size, speed and weight.
• Sized more like a 70-200mm f/2.8, this lens is just 9.2" long and weighs 2.7 lbs. Compared to the Z 400mm f/2.8 lens, this f/4.5 version weighs 3.8 lbs less and measures 6" shorter in length.

• Helping to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations, color fringing and comatic aberrations, this lens features one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and two Super ED elements, along with one SR (wavelength refraction) element. short).
• The SR element features a specialized high-dispersion design that refracts wavelengths shorter than blue; this helps achieve truly accurate color reproduction and also helps make the lens design more compact.
• Nano Crystal Coat has been applied for complete anti-glare protection at all angles, helping to suppress ghosting, reflections and flare for higher contrast and more accurate color response when working in strong lighting conditions and backlight.

• The advanced autofocus system uses stepping motors to deliver fast, accurate focusing performance, along with smooth, quiet AF that is well-suited to both stills and video applications.
• Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an inner focus design is used, where only the inner lens groups move during focusing, to maintain the full length of the lens during use and promote faster focusing speeds. 
• Vibration Reduction image stabilization reduces the appearance of camera shake by approximately 5.5 stops to better enable handheld shooting in low-light situations.
• Synchro VR is also supported when paired with compatible cameras that feature sensor-shift VR, which combines in-body VR with optical VR for enhanced results up to 6 stops of compensation.

• As part of the lightweight and agile design, the included tripod foot can be easily removed for a slimmer design that's ideal for handheld use.
• The physical design focuses the center of gravity toward the rear of the lens, around the tripod mount, for smoother, more responsive panning when shooting handheld or working on a tripod or monopod. The tripod mount also rotates to more easily switch between portrait and landscape shooting orientations.
• The intuitive "no-look" control layout places all frequently used buttons and dials in easy-to-reach locations to avoid the need to move your eye from the viewfinder.
• Front non-slip rubber grip for stable hand use.
• A separate manual focus ring and a programmable control ring offer varying levels of tactile control over shooting settings.
• Compatible with optional Z-Teleconverter TC-1.4x and TC-2x to further extend the reach of this lens.
• The airtight design includes rubber gaskets to keep out dust and moisture, and exposed elements have a fluorine coating that repels dirt and oils and is easier to clean.
• Store a focus position with the Memory Set button so you can instantly return to this position by pressing the Fn or Fn2 buttons, perfect for capturing fleeting movements.
• Two customizable L-Fn buttons can be configured to set subject tracking, AF lock, image playback, or other modes. The L-Fn2 button can also be accessed from four different locations on the barrel for easy access.
• The focus limiter switch can restrict the focus range to 19.7' to infinity or from the full 8.2' focus range to infinity.
• The programmable control ring can also be used to control aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation.
• Kensington lock mount to secure the lens in place during remote shooting sessions.
• Uses 95mm threaded front filters.
