Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is a compact super-telephoto lens of S-line quality with a fixed focal length of 400mm. Head out and enjoy breathtaking image quality and super-telephoto reach in a lightweight, travel-friendly build.

Whatever you photograph, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S super-telephoto lens captures every shot with stunning detail. The lens is exceptionally compact — weighing just 1,246g and measuring only 234.5mm in total length, it's easy to take with you wherever you go.

The centre of gravity of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S sits closer to the camera body, creating an optimal balance. Feel free to move — the weight distribution makes it easier to track subjects, pan smoothly, and come to a fluid stop. Thanks to Nikon's impressive optical VR, handheld shooting is a breeze.

For both photo and video, the lens delivers razor-sharp resolution, crisp contrast, and vibrant colours. With a maximum aperture of f/4.5, you have creative control over shutter speeds and depth of field. Images remain consistently sharp, even when shooting wide open. The silent autofocus, focus breathing suppression, and smooth aperture control make this lens ideal not only for photography but for video work too.

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is user-friendly and effortless to operate. Its perfectly balanced design ensures comfortable, smooth handling. Multiple buttons are fully customisable, so you can set up the lens exactly the way you want it.

No need to worry about flare or backlight. The optical design incorporates Nano Crystal Coat to reduce ghosting and lens flare. Super ED, ED, and SR glass counteracts chromatic aberration from centre to edge. Thanks to weather-resistant sealing and a rubber gasket, all moving parts are protected against dust, dirt, and moisture.

Want to get even closer? The Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is compatible with the lightweight 1.4x and 2x Z-series teleconverters. Extend the focal length further to 560mm or even 800mm, with the same outstanding image quality and minimal added bulk.
