For photographers specializing in sports, wildlife and nature photography, Nikon is introducing a new full-frame, fixed-focal-length super-telephoto lens with a built-in teleconverter: the Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S.
Thanks to the fast f/2.8 aperture and outstanding AF performance, image quality is exceptional whether you shoot at 400 mm or at 560 mm using the 1.4x teleconverter.
The reach can be extended to 560 mm whenever you need it. A single press of the toggle switch on the right side of the lens activates the teleconverter without requiring you to change position or look away from the viewfinder. This super-telephoto lens is also remarkably light, making it easier to handle.
The resolving power of this lens produces incredibly sharp images in both photos and videos. Its maximum f/2.8 aperture offers more scope for creative use of shutter speed and depth of field, while the bokeh is beautifully rounded.
Nikon's anti-reflective Meso Amorphous Coat combats ghosting and flare by neutralizing incident light arriving from both diagonal and vertical directions. This new coating uses particles smaller than nanoparticles and provides remarkable control over ghosting and flare, maintaining excellent clarity even when multiple light sources appear in the frame.
Autofocus is faster and quieter: this is Nikon's first Z lens to feature the Silky Swift VCM autofocus system with an optical ABS encoder, delivering exceptionally fast focusing with precise subject detection and tracking. From a cheetah to a football player, it gives you unprecedented freedom to respond immediately to changes in position, posture or speed.
