The 400mm lens in the Z system opens up a new level of reaction speed in freehand photography. The balance and excellent handling allow you to reach new photographic dimensions. The exceptionally compact and powerful lens with low weight allows you to travel long distances to find the spot - or your subject. 400mm focal length. Weighs approx. 1245 g with an overall length of 234.5 mm and the centre of gravity of the lens is closer to the camera body, making it easier to track, pan and stop the lens. Thanks to the beautiful bokeh, you can separate your subjects from unsteady backgrounds and emphasise the essentials. Fast movements of the subject can be kept in focus at all times.

The autofocus is very fast, precise and exceptionally quiet. Subject tracking is consistent, whether photographing motorsport, birds or wildlife. Nikon's powerful optical image stabiliser in the lens offers a 5.5 stop advantage. When used with the Z9, Synchro-VR allows up to 6 stops longer exposure times, and functions can be assigned to the conveniently positioned L function buttons and the silent setting ring. With the memory button you can
save distance settings.

Weather sealing and a rubber seal on the bayonet keep dust, dirt and moisture away from all moving parts. Nikon's fluorine coating protects the front lens and makes cleaning easier. The range can be extended to 560mm with a Z-teleconverter TC-1.4x or to 800mm with a Z-teleconverter TC-2.0x based on CIPA standards: In NORMAL mode, a compensation of 5.5 stops is achieved when the lens is attached to a mirrorless camera with FX format image sensor. 6.0 stops compensation is achieved when the lens is used together with the Z9 and Synchro-VR is activated. The memory button can be activated after a firmware update. Dust and splash resistance of the lens cannot be guaranteed in all situations and under all conditions.
