Nikon Z 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6 VR S Lens
Long-Reach Mastery
Crafted for Nikon’s Z-mount mirrorless line, this S-Line optic offers a sweeping 100–400mm span—perfect for creatures in the wild, swift games, or fleeting action. From far-off birds to racing athletes, it pulls the moment closer with striking sharpness.
Close-Up Fineness
Step near without trade-offs. With a near-focus of only 0.75m at 100mm and up to 0.38x life-size, this lens uncovers hidden textures even while zoomed long.
Steady Vision Control
Built-in VR steadies up to 5.5 stops, letting you handhold with clarity at slower shutters. A special Sport setting keeps the frame firm when following fast, jumpy subjects.
Balanced Zoom Flow
Nikon’s Inner Balance craft keeps weight shift low as you zoom, giving smooth motion and steady handling from start to end.
Film-Ready Build
Silent focus, minimal breathing, and gentle aperture shifts make it a natural fit for video. Its steady weight flow also pairs easily with gimbals.
Extended Reach Options
Stretch farther—up to 560mm or 800mm—by pairing with Nikon’s Z 1.4x or 2.0x teleconverters, without losing crispness or speed.
Tough & Trustworthy
Sealed against weather, with Fluorine layers on front and rear glass to resist dust, wet, and smears. A tool shaped for the harsh outdoors.
Lightweight Power
Despite its reach, it is surprisingly portable for a super-telephoto zoom. Ideal for fieldwork and travel.
