Nikon Telephoto Lenses | Nikon Nikkor Z 400Mm F/4.5 Vr S Full Frame Lens

The Technical Details Behind This Lens

Encased In A Lightweight And Compact Body, The Nikkor Z 400Mm F/4.5 Vr S Is The Lightest Super-Telephoto S-Line Lens In Its Class Weighing In At Approximately 1,160G (Excluding Tripod Collar) And Measuring A Total Length Of 234.5Mm – Allowing For Increased Mobility Whilst Shooting. Attain Greater Flexibility In Focal Length As The Existing 400Mm Can Also Be Extended To 560Mm Or 800Mm When A 1.4X Or 2.0X Teleconverter Is Used Respectively. The Excellent Body Weight Distribution With Its Centre Of Gravity Located At The Tripod Collar Further Lets Users Enjoy Better Stability And Comfort When Shooting For Prolonged Periods. In Addition To The Added Stability, The Lens Provides Outstanding Vibration Reduction (Vr) Performance With Support For Two Vr Modes – Normal And Sport Modes, As Well As Synchro Vr Which Is Available With The Z 9. The Normal Mode’S Performance Effectively Reduces Blur During Handheld Telephoto Shooting And Is Equivalent To A 5.5-Stop Increase In Shutter Speed, The Most Effective In The History Of Nikkor Lenses. The Second Mode, Sports Vr, Which Is Highly Acclaimed By Professional Photographers, Is Particularly Effective When Shooting Rapid And Erratic Moving Subjects As It Enables Users To Track Subjects Easily And Provides A Stable Viewfinder Image, Even With Continuous High-Speed Shooting. When The Lens Is Combined With The Nikon Z 9, Users Enjoy A More Powerful 6.0-Stop With Synchro Vr Activation And The In-Camera Vr. Making The Lens Ideal For Situations Where Silence Is Required Is Its Quiet And Accurate Autofocus (Af) With A Stepping Motor (Stm) To Reduce Operational Sounds, Thus Ensuring Live Subjects Such As Wildlife And Birds Are Not Disturbed In Their Natural Habitat.
