Super professional telephoto zoom
Super professional telephoto zoom
Wild animals. Sport. Planes. Portraits. With its 100-400mm focal length range, advanced optics and rock-solid weather resistance system, this bright full-frame mirrorless lens is as versatile as you want it to be. Thanks to its excellent optical performance at any distance, you are prepared for any eventuality. Discover your next professional goal.
If you can only take one goal
Whether the subject is extremely close or incredibly far away, autofocus is fast, precise and exceptionally quiet. Whether shooting birds or airplanes, tracking is particularly stable when the lens is used with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras that incorporate Animal or Vehicle AF modes. The exceptional lens resolution is maintained even when using a teleconverter.
Sharpness at any distance
The sharpness is exceptional throughout the frame. Nikon's ED and Super ED glass lenses reduce chromatic aberration from the center to the edges of the image, even when shooting at full aperture or at close range.
Perfect focus
Thanks to the powerful Vibration Reduction system that saves 5.5 shutter speeds, you can take hand-held photos at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing sharpness. The minimum focus distance is only 0.75m at the wide-angle end of the focal range and 0.98m at full extension.
From the shadow to the light
Nanocrystalline and ARNEO anti-reflective coatings virtually eliminate stray lights, ghosting and coma effects by suppressing incident light from all directions. Clarity is exceptional throughout the frame, including backlighting.
Designed to last
Go further with a lens designed for the great outdoors. A comprehensive weather resistance system protects against dust and moisture, especially around the lens mount and all moving parts¹. The front lens features Nikon's non-stick protective fluoride coating, which repels dust and moisture and is easy to clean.
Light
Keep your camera bag handy, whether for a hike or a walk in the field. Despite its versatile focal length range of 100-400mm, this lens weighs around 1.35kg².
Balance
This lens maintains its center of gravity as you zoom, allowing you to maintain precise framing from wide-angle to telephoto. Ideal for recording videos using a stabilizer.
Reliable
A bird in a tree. A plane. This lens does not retract or move after zooming in. You don't even have to lock it into position first. Just aim up and shoot!
Mastered
The extremely small zoom ring rotation angle (only 80 °) lets you switch from wide-angle to maximum telephoto without moving your hands. Never miss a shot.
Precision at three levels
The torque of the zoom and focus rings has been perfectly calculated. The slim, quiet adjustment ring is perfectly placed for smooth finger manipulation and can be used to correct exposure, aperture or sensitivity.
Ready for video
Focus-breathing is virtually eliminated, so you can adjust focus without affecting the angle of view. The aperture control is extremely stable and smooth, offering natural changes in exposure throughout the scene.
Versatility at your fingertips
From subject tracking to metering, bracketing, and more. You can assign a variety of different functions to the lens's two Fn controls, providing a level of operational versatility that Nikon digital SLR users are familiar with.
