Nikon has announced a new telephoto lens. This 400mm lens has the Nikon Z mount, so it is specifically for Nikon's Z mirrorless cameras. It is a relatively compact lens.
The lens consists of 19 elements in 13 groups. The aperture has nine blades and the minimum focusing distance is 2.5 metres. The lens weighs 1,245 grams and is 23.45 centimetres long.
Combined with the Nikon Z9, the lens offers image stabilisation of up to 6 stops. With other cameras, this is half a stop less. The new 400mm is sealed against dust, dirt and moisture.
Price and availability
Nikon will release the lens in mid-July for a recommended retail price of 3,699 euros. Not cheap, of course, but for a lens like this it seems like a fairly reasonable price.
