Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f4E TC1.4 FL ED VR Lens

Embracing both length and stretch, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR is a means to super-telephoto zoom featured by its modern optical design, inbuilt teleconverter, and host of lifting assets to suit photographing moving subjects. Differentiating itself from most zooms, this 180-400mm characterized a built-in 1.4x teleconverter to permit for on-the-fly switching to a helpful 252-560mm f/5.6 lens for better reach. A continuous f/4 maximum aperture is also an attribute for getting continuous illustration all-round the zoom range and for producing shallow depth of field and choose focusing imagery. Applauding these features is an enlightened optical design that uses eight extra-low dispersion glass elements and one fluorite element to power chromatic aberrations and color fringing for maximized clarity. Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings have also been coated to individual elements to decrease flare and ghosting for better contrast and color accuracy while working in powerful lighting conditions.

Stabilizing the optical merits, this 180-400mm is also featured by its addition of a Vibration Reduction image stabilization system that reduces four stops of camera shake to permit sharper handheld shooting. A Silent Wave Motor also helps for bringing out sharp imagery and produce fast and silent autofocus performance together with a full-time manual focus override. As a lens deliberated for use in different conditions, it is weather-resistant and features a fluorine coating on the front part to protect it from fingerprints and smudging. Additionally attachable, a rotating tripod collar is provided to help in working with a support system and this lens utilizes an electromagnetic diaphragm to secure continuous exposure stability while shooting at fast continuous speeds.

Originated for the use with FX image sensors, this 180-400mm lens can also be used with DX sensors producing a 270-600mm equivalent focal length range. An in-built 1.4x teleconverter permits you to quickly expand your reach to 252-560mm easily by flipping the right-hand switch. From the time the teleconverter is built within the lens housing, it is automatically matched to the lens for increased imaging performance and also maintains the lens’s weather-resistant feature. Continuous f/4 maximum aperture, without the teleconverter in position, provides continuous illumination all over the zoom range. When the 1.4x teleconverter is attached, the maximum aperture is effectively f/5.6.

One fluorite element and eight extra-low dispersion glass elements are incorporated into the optical design to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve notable clarity and color accuracy. A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting. Vibration Reduction image stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake for up to four shutter speed stops, benefiting this lens’s use in low-light conditions. Additionally, a designated Sport Mode is well-suited to working in fast-paced conditions and a Tripod Mode helps to suppress subtle ground vibrations when working atop a support system. Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster-focusing speeds.

The focus range limiter allows you to constrict the focus system to a 19.7′ to infinity range for faster focusing performance.
Assignable Function buttons can be used for lens-based activation of AF/AE Lock modes or for switching between different AF Area Modes.
Dust- and moisture-resistant magnesium alloy lens barrel benefits the lens’s use in inclement conditions. Fluorine-coated front element affords protection to the optical system, resists smudging and fingerprints, and is easier to clean. A removable tripod collar is included with the lens for well-balanced support when working from a monopod or tripod. The collar ring also incorporates ball bearings for smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. A specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
