Nikon Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S Telephoto Lens

No matter your photo style, Wildlife, Sports, Aircraft, Portraits and more, the Nikon Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S Telephoto Lens is a Super-Telephoto zoom lens perfect for any weather thanks to its reliable weather sealing. This full-frame mirrorless lens is as versatile as you need it to be. 

Sharp at any distance

Sharpness is superb throughout the frame. Nikon’s ED and Super ED glass control chromatic aberration from the centre to the edge of the image—even when shooting at the widest aperture or at close distances.

Always focused

Powerful VR performance equivalent to 5.5 stops lets you shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing sharpness. Minimum focus is just 0.75 m at the wide-angle end of the zoom range, and 0.98 m at full extension.

Out of the shadows

Anti-reflective ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings virtually eliminate flare, ghosting, and coma by suppressing incidental light coming from any direction. Clarity is exceptional throughout the frame, even in backlit situations.

Built to endure

Go the distance with a lens that’s designed for the great outdoors. Full weather sealing keeps out dust and moisture, especially around the lens mount and all moving parts.The front element has Nikon's protective non-stick fluorine coat, which repels dust and moisture and easily wipes clean.

Precision times three

The zoom and focus rings adjust with just the right amount of torque. The slim, silent control ring is perfectly placed for smooth operation with your finger—and can be used for aperture control, exposure compensation, or ISO.
