NIKKOR Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S

It's still a very new lens to me, but it's performed wonderfully so far. Moving up from the 70-300mm, I liked the idea of extra focal reach, but was worried about it being heavier and difficult to maneuver. However, it's a compact design with a reasonable weight that's not cumbersome. It's also easy to zoom in-out as you can almost fully open and close the zoom with one one twist of the wrist, maybe to 80%, or more, of it's capacity.

Excellent build quality, sharp throughout the range, fast focusing, and works very well with the Nikkor Z 1.4tc.Recently switched from Canon RF system as I prefer the glass that Nikon has to offer. Hope to add a 600mm PF and a wide angle zoom soon.

I am a flower photographer and it is excellent in getting sharp photos with a blurred solid colored background.

A solid lens. A good hiking lens for nature. Close focusing that it is a near macro lens.

Nikon’s Z 100 mm - 400 mm lens is one of my favorites. It's sharp and has a good zoom range for outdoor events, zoos and any other type of shooting that requires this type of range. I have used it while walking around Washington DC as well as indoors at conventions and festivals. Keep in mind that this lens is a f/4.5-5.6, so you are going to want plenty of light, or you can expect to boost the ISO settings. With that being said, I don’t regret getting this lens for one single second.

I’ve had a chance to use the 100-400mm z lens on a recent trip to the Saint Augustine alligator farm in Florida and it was the perfect lens. It allowed me to capture some great close ups while giving me the length for those distance action moments

This is my favorite lens I have ever owned and I have owned many! Super sharp, Great AF and Love that it is a zoom but also can focus like a macro in less than 3 ft! I highly recommend this lens! Nikon hit it out of the park with this one!

A very well balance lens. Versatility is second to none.I bought this lens with the 1.4 teleconverter to replace the 500mm PF, it did.Auto focusing is fast and spot on.Image quality is outstanding.The lens is also used for landscape photography and I’m finding the close focusing capabilities to be a major plus.Hi recommend.

This lens fits so well with my style of photography that I probably use it 75% of the time over my others. You can just pick out the small details and compositions at any distance so well! Even if sometimes you have to move position to accommodate the 100mm minimum, those are often some of my best photos. I most often use this lens around 150mm and 300mm. The sharpness and weather sealing I have come to know and trust in the NIKKOR Z S line is top notch and this is yet another solid addition to that line up.
