About this item
- Vibration Reduction: Achieves up to up to 6.0 stops of compensation, when used with the Z 9, Synchro VR combines the in-lens and in-camera VR image stabilization systems for maximum results. All other Z series cameras achieve VR up to 5.5 stops. (Based on CIPA Standard; in NORMAL mode; this value is achieved when attached to a mirrorless camera equipped with a 35mm film size image sensor.)
- Autofocus: Autofocus is powered by Nikon's STM stepping motor, a highly efficient type of motor that moves in precise intervals at remarkable speed and in near silence, ideal for video and capturing skittish wildlife.
- Extend the reach. Compatible with the Z series Teleconverter TC-1.4x and Teleconverter TC-2.0x for added reach.
- Bokeh. The optical design of the NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S is optimized for a smooth bokeh effect that enhances the natural compression of 400mm.

VR is very good, as it is for all Nikon's Z lenses.
AF is good. Accuracy and reliability seems good. Speed is decent - not as fast as some other super-telephotos (especially the exotics, unsurprisingly), and generally perfectly sufficient for wildlife.
There's essentially no aberrations of any kind - imperceptible geometric distortion, nothing chromatic that I've ever noticed, and flare practically doesn't exist. Again, just like most of Nikon's Z lenses. Nikon are doing a fantastic job lately in this regard.
The downsides are that it's expensive - I wouldn't consider this good value for most folks, unless you have perfectly matched needs - and its minimum focusing distance is not good. Especially if you're comparing it to the 100-400Z. This lens is optically superior to the 100-400Z, but its benefits can be rendered completely irrelevant if your subject gets "too" close and you can't focus on it at all (or similarly you need to zoom out - obviously this prime has downsides vs a zoom). I really wish Nikon would improve the MFD of their Z telephoto primes - they're all surprisingly poor. Especially in contrast to the 100-400Z which has spectacularly good MFD & max reproduction ratio.
Overall I do recommend it, and it's become my primary telephoto lens over the 80-400G, 100-400Z, and Sigma 150-600C. Particularly when travelling or hiking - it's light. Just think carefully about whether you need the flexibility of a zoom or closer focusing distances.
Will probably return it.
