Quality you can see. Literally.
The NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S bears the S-Line designation, reserved for premium NIKKOR Z lenses with the most advanced optics, superior resolution, beautiful bokeh, robust weather sealing and precision design.
Dazzling image quality.
2 Super ED glass elements and 6 ED glass elements significantly reduce axial chromatic aberration. Nano Crystal Coat and Nikon’s advanced ARNEO coat cut through glare and lens flare. Color bleeding and focus breathing are virtually nonexistent.
Optical VR keeps you steady.
When used with a Z camera that has Synchro VR, like the Z 9, the NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S’s powerful optical VR system works together with the camera’s in-body VR for up to 5.5 stops* of compensation. On full-frame Z cameras like Z 5, Z 6, Z 6II, Z 7 or Z 7II, it achieves up to 5.5 stops* of compensation. And on DX-format cameras like Z 50 or Z fc, it stabilizes with 2-axis optical VR.
Macro-style close focusing.
Traditional super telephotos can overpower close shooting situations. Not the NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S. Even when you’re right in front of your subjectu2014as close as 2.46 feet away at 100mm or 3.22 feet away at 400mmu2014you can fill the frame with macro-style details.
Outstanding for video.
With ultra-quiet focusing, suppressed focus breathing, smooth aperture adjustments, a constant center of gravity and S-Line image quality, the NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S lets you bring super telephoto views with beautifully compressed backgrounds to your videos.
Lightweight and comfortable.
When you’re shooting all day or carrying more than one lens, every ounce makes a difference. Despite its big zoom power and image quality, the NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S is remarkably lightweightu2014just over 3 lbs.u2014with the included quick-release tripod foot.
Won't creep.
An innovative design enhancement eliminates lens creepu2014without torque or tension adjustments. Whether the lens is pointed straight up or straight down, the barrel will stay in the same zoom position.
Quick zoom ring.
Cover the entire zoom rangeu2014from 100mm to fully extended 400mmu2014with less than a quarter turn of the smooth zoom ring and no perceptible change in balance. This is comfortable, intuitive handling at its best.
Loves the great outdoors.
All moving parts of the lens barrel are carefully weather sealed, and the lens mount has a rubber gasket. Nikon's proprietary Fluorine coat is applied to the front-most element, which repels dust, oil and water droplets and easily wipes clean.
