Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S - Nikon Z Mount

The Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is a compact super-telephoto prime lens designed for the Z-mount mirrorless system. Weighing approximately 1,245g, it is notably portable for its focal length, making it suitable for handheld wildlife and sports photography. The optical construction includes SR, Super ED, and ED glass elements to suppress chromatic aberrations, while the Vibration Reduction system offers up to 5.5 stops of compensation, or 6 stops when used with Synchro VR on compatible bodies. When inspecting a used 400mm f/4.5, check the rubber sealing around the mount and the control ring for smooth, silent operation. SDS verifies the autofocus performance and ensures the VR mechanism engages and disengages correctly without unusual noise. We also check the front and rear elements for any coating damage and ensure the tripod collar rotates freely and locks securely.
