OVERVIEW

The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is a super-telephoto prime lens that is described as "the smallest and lightest 400mm Nikon has ever made," as well as great reach, cutting-edge optics, and effective AF and VR. It is a well-rounded lens for a traveller who shoots sports or wildlife and needs a handheld design and good reach for taking pictures of distant subjects.

Long Reach, Compact Design

This 400mm f/4.5 lens stands out among super-telephoto lenses because it is very thin and light, making it the perfect travel companion or other shooting situations where handheld shooting is desired.
A number of specialist components used in sophisticated optical design provide a lighter, more compact overall design.
A modest maximum aperture of f/4.5 offers a good balance between size, speed, and weight.

S-Line Optics

One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element, two Super ED elements, one SR (short-wavelength refractive) element, and one Super ED element are all present in this lens, which helps to almost completely remove chromatic aberrations, colour fringing, and comatic aberrations.
Because of the SR element's unique high-dispersion design, which refracts wavelengths shorter than blue, it is possible to obtain absolutely accurate colour rendering while simultaneously increasing the lens's compactness.
Nano Crystal Coat has been used to provide comprehensive anti-glare protection from all angles, assisting in the suppression of ghosting, reflections, and flare for higher contrast and more accurate colour response when working in brightly illuminated and backlit environments.

Autofocus and Vibration Reduction

Stepping motors are used in advanced autofocus systems to provide accurate and speedy focusing performance as well as a smooth and noiseless AF that is suitable for both stills and video applications.
Internal focusing is utilised to maintain the overall length of the lens throughout operation and to encourage faster focusing speeds. Full-time manual focus override is also an option.

The appearance of camera shake is reduced by about 5.5 stops through vibration reduction image stabilisation, making handheld shooting in low light conditions easier
