Overview Nikon Z 100-400 F4.5-5.6 VR S Lens:

Professional zoom telephoto lens

Wildlife. Sports. Aircraft. Portraits. With its 100-400mm zoom range, advanced optics, and reliable weather sealing, this brilliant lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras has the versatility you need. Superb optical performance at any distance covers any eventuality.

When you only have one goal

Lock in focus—no matter if you're very close or incredibly far away. AF performance is fast, accurate, and exceptionally quiet. From birds to airplanes, tracking is rock-steady when used in conjunction with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras featuring Animal or Vehicle AF modes. The lens's outstanding resolution is maintained even when using a teleconverter.

Sharpness at any distance

Sharpness is exceptional across the entire frame. Nikon's ED and Super ED lenses control chromatic aberration from the center to the edge of the image, even when shooting at the widest aperture or at close range.

Always focused

Powerful 5.5-stop equivalent VR performance lets you shoot handheld at slow shutter speeds without losing sharpness. The minimum focusing distance is just 0.75m at the wide-angle end of the zoom range and 0.98m throughout.

Out of the shadows

ARNEO and Nano Crystal anti-reflective coatings virtually eliminate flare, ghosting, and coma aberration by suppressing indirect light from any direction. Clarity is exceptional across the entire frame, even in backlit situations.

Designed to last

Don't let anything stop you with a lens designed for the harshest outdoor conditions. Complete weather sealing prevents dust and moisture from entering, especially around the lens mount and all moving parts. The front element features Nikon's protective non-stick fluorine coating that repels dust and moisture and is easy to clean.

Total control

The zoom ring's rotation angle is extremely small, just 80°, allowing you to zoom in, whether at wide-angle or maximum telephoto, without changing your grip. Never miss a shot.
