Nikon today announced the new full-frame telephoto prime lens with built in teleconverter for Z-mount, the Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm F2.8 TC VR S. With its fast aperture of F2.8 this lens is aimed towards sports, wildlife and nature photographers. Image quality is exceptional whether shooting at 400 mm, or at 560 mm with the built-in 1.4x teleconverter.
This will be the first Nikon Z lens to adopt the new 'Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor' (VCM) focusing system with optical ABS encoder, giving faster and quieter autofocus, and superb subject aquisition and tracking. Another first for the Z lens is the new Meso Amorphous Coat, which offers the highest anti-reflection performance in Nikon's history.
This new lens is lighter than its older AF-S version making it easy to handle, and features 5.5 stops of vibration reduction. Pair it with the Nikon Z9 for even better VR.
KEY FEATURES:
• Built-in 1.4x teleconverter: a flick of a switch on the right side of the lens is all it takes to engage the teleconverter and extend the reach of this lens to 560 mm.
• Unwavering AF: Silky Swift VCM focusing system with optical ABS encoder delivers phenomenally fast autofocus with spot-on subject acquisition and tracking.
•Powerful image quality: f/2.8 maximum aperture and beautifully rounded bokeh.
• In-lens Vibration Reduction: gives a 5.5-stop advantage even when shooting with the built-in teleconverter activated, Synchro VR is available when this lens is paired with the Z 9.
• Meso Amorphous Coat: class-leading anti-reflective coating. Combats ghosting and flare by eliminating incidental light coming from both diagonal and vertical directions.
• Exquisite detail: Nikon’s ED, Super ED, and SR glass elements counter chromatic aberrations.
• Tough: sealing around all moving parts keeps dust and moisture at bay, and Nikon’s fluorine coating protects the front element.
• Balanced: the lens’ centre of gravity is towards the rear for more stable operation.
• Customisable: functions can be assigned to the FN ring, as well as to the Fn buttons, focus ring, and silent control ring. Save focus distances to the memory-set button.
• Steady and secure: 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: makes it easy to drop in filters for even more control over tricky lighting situations.
• Compatibility: supports use of the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x and Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x.
