![]() Note that you can use Nikon Z teleconverters with this lens, and that gets you into macro range. 100mm isn't quite as much of a close up wiz at 1:5, with the focus distance being just about 27" (0.71m) with a working distance of 18" (0.47m). The w orking distance at 400mm is about 27" (0.7m). Maximum apertures go like this as you zoom:įocus is done with two stepping motors, and the lens focuses down to just over 3 feet (0.97m) at 400mm, which produces a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.5, which is near macro level. Minimum aperture is f/32 at 100mm, f/40 at 400mm. Maximum aperture is f/4.5 at 100mm, f/5.6 at 400mm. They also claim that the lens won't zoom creep when held up or straight down. Nikon makes a claim that the center of balance moves only 0.15" (3.8mm) as the lens is zooms and focused. That front element allows for 77mm filters to be mounted on the lens. ARNEO and Nano coatings are used on the lens to reduce flare and ghosting, and the front element is fluorine coated to repel water and dust. There are no aspherical elements in the lens. Six of those elements are ED, with two being a Super ED type of glass. You'll find 25 elements in 20 groups inside the lens. The lens comes with the HB-103 hood, which can be reversed on the lens for travel. On the tripod collar is a large round knob whose top rubber cover opens to reveal a Kensington-compatible lock point. The tripod collar rotates, and its foot is removable/replaceable, but not Arca-Swiss compatible. As with (most) S lenses, you get an OLED display that can show focal length, aperture, focusing distance, and depth-of-field. Like many of the Z-mount zooms, the barrel diameter stays very constant throughout much of its length. ![]() That means a magnesium alloy core with lots of weather sealing (13 rings and nine other gaskets around switches/buttons). Typical telephoto lens designs usually come in at physical length = focal length (which would be 400mm to the front element).īuild quality is Nikon's typical S level. So, at 400mm the mount to front of hood distance is about 13.2" (336mm). Remember, however, that the 80-400mm used on a Z System camera will become longer and even heavier due to the necessary FTZ adapter.įully extended, the 100-400mm grows about 2" (49mm) in length, and the plastic lens hood adds another 2.5" (65mm). The old 80-400mm F-mount lens is a little wider in diameter and heavier, for instance, though it does collapse to 8" (203mm). Total weight is 1435g with the tripod collar. With the lens at the 100mm mark, the 100-400mm is remarkably about the same size and weight as the 70-200mm f/2.8. Let me foreshadow why: it's svelte, it's highly competent, and it's affordable. But let me cut to the chase: most of you are going to end up with the 100-400mm. Suddenly you have several choices in the long telephoto range for the Z-mount, with more coming (400mm f/4.5? PF, 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3?, and 600mm f/4). In very rapid succession, we received the 100-400mm (this review), the 400mm f/2.8 ( next review), and the 800mm f/6.3 PF. Up until it appeared, the Z system maxed out at the 200mm focal length mark (without teleconverters). The 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S lens is Nikon's first longer telephoto zoom for the Z system.
