Nikon has announced the launch of its new and highly anticipated superfast telephoto prime lens in the form of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens priced at £13,499.00 or €15,499.00 depending on your location. Designed for capturing sports, wildlife, and nature photography the fast prime lens has an aperture of just f/2.8 and a focal length of 400 mm and is also equipped with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter that once activated provides a focal length of 560 mm.
“Built to give photographers every advantage out in the field, the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S also boasts an impressively lightweight build, which makes this super-telephoto lens easier to handle. Tough and perfectly balanced, the lens is fully sealed around all moving parts and its centre of gravity is towards the rear for more stable operation. Controls can be customised for the perfect setup in any situation, including by assigning functions to the lens’ FN ring.”
Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens features
