The Silky Swift VCM (Voice Coil Motor) technology is a new autofocus drive motor system in Nikon lenses. It uses magnets instead of gears to move the lens focus groups, delivering higher initial speed, higher accuracy, and the smoothest, most silent operation of any Nikon AF drive system.
The built-in 1.4x teleconverter allows you to extend the reach of the lens from 400mm to 560mm without changing lenses. This makes it a versatile option for sports and wildlife photography, where changing lenses can mean missing a shot.
The Meso Amorphous and ARNEO Coats are anti-reflective coatings developed by Nikon. They work together to reduce ghost and flare effects caused by incident light entering the lens from various directions, allowing for clear image capture even in challenging lighting conditions.
The NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens is designed for Nikon Z full-frame mirrorless cameras, including the Nikon Z 9, Nikon Z F, Nikon Z5, Nikon Z6, Nikon Z6 II, Nikon Z7, Nikon Z7 II, and Nikon Z8.
The S-Line designation is given to Nikon lenses that combine superb optics, precision design, and robust weather-sealing. It represents Nikon's pursuit of optical excellence.
