From stadium to mountainside, the AF-S NIKKOR 180–400mm f/4E TC1.4 lets you own every advantage out in the field. A solid, well-positioned lever ensures easy, comfortable activation of the teleconverter. Photographers can increase the 180–400mm (f/4) focal-length range to 560 mm (f/5.6) without adjusting their hold on the camera, or taking their eye away from the viewfinder. The advanced optical design ensures photographers can extend their reach without compromising sharpness. And Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) allows a four-stop advantage, even with the teleconverter engaged. SPORT VR reliably tracks fast-moving subjects, and advanced autofocus ensures subject-acquisition performance is superb. Ergonomic advantages include the fact that typical zoom- and focus-ring positions have been reversed for more balanced handling, and a fluorite lens element helps keep the weight down.
Dirk Jasper, Manager of Product Marketing, Nikon Europe, says: “This telephoto lens was built to answer the demands of sports and wildlife pros who’ll go to any lengths to get the shot. Advances in optical technology mean we can now offer higher versatility and longer reach without sacrificing weight and performance. You won’t have to swap lenses so frequently, and that will mean fewer missed opportunities out in the field.”
