Compact Nikon Z 400mm using Phase Fresnel, revolutionary lightweight super-telephoto with S-line quality.
The Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is a compact super-telephoto for the Nikon Z system using Phase Fresnel technology to dramatically reduce size and weight versus conventional 400mm designs. The S-line designation ensures Nikon's highest optical quality with VR stabilisation.
The Phase Fresnel element compresses the optical design, achieving 400mm at approximately 1.2kg — roughly half the weight of conventional 400mm f/4 designs. The VR provides 5.5 stops of stabilisation for handheld super-telephoto, and the lens accepts Z teleconverters for extended reach.
Build quality is Nikon S-line professional with weather sealing and the precision engineering expected at this optical tier. The compact dimensions make handheld 400mm genuinely practical for extended shooting sessions.
The Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S offers revolutionary compact super-telephoto at strong used pricing. The PF technology provides 400mm capability in a package small and light enough for all-day handheld wildlife photography.
