Nikon's proven 400mm f/4.5 S-Line prime for Z mount shooters.

The Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S sits in Nikon's top-tier S-Line optical family, built natively for the Z mount and covering full-frame FX sensors. At 400mm, it targets the sweet spot for wildlife, sports, and birds-in-flight work, where subject distance and reach matter more than almost any other variable. The 95mm filter thread accommodates serious glass filtration without adapters, and the included Really Right Stuff LCF-21 tripod foot signals that Nikon positioned this lens for shooters who spend time on sticks in the field.

Vibration Reduction lets you work handheld at speeds you otherwise couldn't sustain at this focal length, which matters on long shooting days when a monopod isn't enough and a full tripod setup is too slow. S-Line designation means Nikon holds this optic to its highest internal standards for optical construction and autofocus. For Z-system shooters who have outgrown zoom reach or want a dedicated long prime in their kit, this lens represents a, field-proven option.

Who It's For

Wildlife photographers working at distance benefit from 400mm reach paired with VR on a native Z-mount body, where full autofocus integration with Nikon's subject-detection systems is available. Sports and action shooters who want a long prime over a zoom will appreciate the S-Line optical standard. Birders who shoot handheld for extended sessions get real support from Vibration Reduction at this focal length. Photographers who regularly use tripods or monopods in the field will find the bundled Really Right Stuff tripod foot a practical starting point than an afterthought.
