The Nikon 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR is a high performance super telephoto lens that features a built-in 1.4x teleconverter and Nikkor’s proven Vibration Reduction (VR) System. A formidable weapon for professional sports and wildlife shooters, the lens delivers uncompromising results and amazing shooting versatility.

Versatile Focal Range

The already impressive native 180-400mm focal range is enhanced with a 1.4x teleconverter built into the lens for optimal convenience. At the flick of a switch the range extends to 252-560mm, allowing sports and wildlife photographers unparalleled versatility in reach, framing and composition.. Compatible with Nikon’s DX format cameras, this reach extends even further with the equivalent to an impressive 378-840mm.

High Clarity

With a minimum focus distance of only 2m, the Nikkor 180-400mm lens performs across the remarkable zoom range without compromising on image quality. The maximum reproduction ratio of 1:4 brings out crisp detail in images even in highly magnified images, giving you the confidence to shoot at the extreme ends of the focal range with confidence.

Brighter Colours

The Nikkor 180-400mm super telephoto lens is coated with an extra-low refractive coating to reduce ghosting and glare for improved clarity. The high transmittance of the Nano Crystal Coat optimises the NIKKOR 180-400mm’s colour detection for true-to-life colour reproduction. The lens also features a single protective glass with fluorite coating and ED glass elements designed to minimise chromatic aberration, ensuring your colours pop consistently no matter how far you zoom.

Fast Autofocus

Thanks to the upgraded autofocus drive, the NIKKOR lens is perfect for shooting action. With its higher speed inversion and lightning fast drive control algorithm, tracking a subject is smooth, consistent and accurate. Whether you’re using the standard or super telephoto zoom, the built-in Vibration Reduction Sport Mode increases the already high subject acquisition capability, equipping you with the ability to isolate and track fast moving subjects with precision.

Ergonomic Construction

The Nikon 180-400 mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR lens is redesigned to make usage intuitive and comfortable. The layout of focus and super telephoto buttons make it simple to adjust your settings while the zoom ring is redeveloped to give you a more comfortable grip. With its dust and moisture resistant capabilities, the NIKKOR AF-S 180-400mm f4E TC1.4 FL ED VR is the perfect companion for pro photographers to take on the field.
