AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR

Overview

Super-telephoto zoom lens covering from 180 mm to 400 mm* (252 mm to 560 mm when using the built-in teleconverter) enables high agility in shooting sports and wildlife photography.
- *When attached to a DX-format camera, the angle of view is equivalent to that of a 270-600 mm lens in FX/35mm format (378-840 mm when using the built-in teleconverter).
The built-in 1.4x teleconverter can be easily activated with a switch without changing the shooting posture.
Parts and controls are all designed to ensure superior operability for more comfortable shooting.
Employing a fluorite lens element and magnesium alloy achieves a light weight of approx. 3,500 g.
Superior dust-/drip-resistant structure and Nikon's fluorine coat for enhanced reliability.
Optical performance realized with one fluorite lens element and eight ED glass elements draws out the full potential of high-megapixel digital cameras.
Advanced optical system and Nano Crystal Coat effectively minimize ghost and flare effects.
Evolved Vibration Reduction (VR) that provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops* faster regardless of built-in teleconverter usage also employs SPORT mode that is particularly effective when shooting quickly and erratically moving subjects.
- *Based on CIPA Standard; when attached to an FX-format digital SLR camera, with zoom set at the maximum telephoto position.
Further improved AF system realizes superior subject-acquisition performance.
