Faqs:

Why is this lens considered the lightest in its class?

The lens achieves its remarkably light weight (approx. 1160 grams without the tripod mount) and compact size by integrating its optics effectively, allowing it to be balanced and easy to handle without sacrificing the fast F4.5 aperture or image quality. This makes it highly unique for a 400 millimeter prime lens.

Can I effectively use this lens without a tripod while traveling?

Yes, absolutely. The built-in 5.5-stop V R image stabilization is highly effective, allowing for handheld shooting in most conditions. The lens’s lightweight design also contributes to better handheld balance and reduced fatigue during extended use.

How much reach can I get if I use a teleconverter with this lens?

This lens is fully compatible with Nikon Z teleconverters. If you rent the T C-1.4x separately, the focal length extends to 560 millimeter at f/6.3. If you rent the T C-2.0x, the focal length extends to 800 millimeter at f/9, providing incredible reach for distant subjects.

What is the purpose of the S R (Short-wavelength Refractive) lens element?

The S R lens element is a highly advanced Nikon technology used to control high-energy short-wavelength light. It is particularly effective at correcting blue light and managing chromatic aberrations, ensuring superior color reproduction and clarity, particularly crucial in a super-telephoto lens.

Can I customize the control and function buttons on the lens?

Yes. The lens features a customizable control ring to which you can assign aperture value, exposure compensation, or M/A mode (manual focus override). It also has two customizable function buttons (L-Fn) that can be set for various tasks like A F lock or subject tracking.
