Product Description

Product Description

Nikon F Mount Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22 VR Image Stabilization with Sport Mode Two Fluorite and Two ED Elements Silent Wave Motor and MF Override Nano Crystal Coat Fluorine-Coated Front Meniscus Element Weather-Resistant Magnesium Alloy Barrel Specialized Electromagnetic Diaphragm Removable Monopod Collar

From the Manufacturer

Thrilling views of the world's most thrilling moments.

Lighter and more rugged than its acclaimed predecessor, the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR frees professionals and passionate shooters to capture the thrill of sports, action and wildlife with staggering clarity and precision, even when shooting handheld in challenging lighting conditions. A fast f/2.8 maximum aperture paired with Nikon VR technology delivers exciting new low-light capabilities and beautiful bokeh, while a specialized diaphragm maintains consistent exposure during high-speed shooting. Pro-grade dust- and moisture-sealing and a fluorine coated front meniscus glass element protect the lens' superb NIKKOR optics on tough assignments while Nikon's advanced lens technologies give you every advantage for catching the shots that matter.

The speed and reach to succeed

Fast f/2.8 400mm prime lens

When it comes to capturing sports or wildlife where the action is fast and the conditions are rarely favorable, lens speed can mean the difference between a great shot and a miss. At f/2.8, the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR gathers maximum light and renders beautiful bokeh. Nikon VR enhances that speed with up to 4 stops* of blur-free handheld shooting, including a new mode specifically for shooting Sports and Action, while a specialized electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism achieves remarkably consistent exposures when shooting at high frame rates. You might not be able to predict the spontaneous, but you certainly can prepare for it.

Built for rough conditions

Lightweight, rugged and reliable

Thanks to lightweight fluorite lens elements and a magnesium alloy die-cast lens barrel, the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is nearly 2 lbs. lighter than its predecessor, AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR. Anyone who has spent time in the field with a large super-telephoto lens knows every pound counts. And since wildlife and action often mean harsh conditions, it features professional grade dust- and moisture-resistant sealing and a fluorine coated meniscus protective glass element at the lens front. Wherever your assignments or passion take you, the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is ready.

Every advantage for landing the shot

Superb NIKKOR optics and Nikon lens technologies

The AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is an advanced lens designed to draw peak potential from high-resolution Nikon D-SLRs. The lens' ultra-fast, ultra-quiet Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides outstanding autofocus performance with seamless manual override (just spin the lens barrel). Two fluorite lens elements (FL) provide superior optical characteristics while minimizing overall weight, while two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements nearly eliminate chromatic aberration, even at f/2.8.

*Based on CIPA Standard. This value is achieved when: FX-format compatible lenses are attached to an FX-format digital SLR camera.

    Incredibly sharp, fast and light!
    This is the second sharpest lens Nikon has ever made, just slightly behind the 800mm 5.6 FL but it is much more versatile. I used to own a 300mm 2.8 and the 600mm f4 VR lenses, however I now own just this super-tele and a 1.4x TC and I am much happier. You can't go wrong with this lens and it is definitely sharper than the 300mm, 500mm and 600mm lenses and I have owned and shot each one. The weight savings over the previous 400mm 2.8 Nikkor's is quite amazing and especially when you consider they made this FL version sharper as well. One of the most important upgrades and changes that is somewhat overlooked, yet amazing is the new one piece lens hood and new placement of the tripod foot. If you can find a way to fund this purchase you will never regret buying this lens and when you consider it's resale value it is so much cheaper than renting. I used to rent super-telephoto's in the past when I needed them, but never time $100 per rental adds up to more than just biting the bullet!

    Amazing lens, what is there really to say? The first evening right before dark I took this photo of a raccoon in my backyard while sitting on my sofa - thru a glass window.
