Nikon has introduced that it’s creating a brand new 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S prime lens with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter for Nikon Z-mount, which would be the first super-telephoto lens made for Nikon’s mirrorless system.
The brand new Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S prime lens will belong to the S-Line of Nikon Z Lenses that the corporate states “pursues the last word in optical efficiency.” The super-zoom prime lens will function a built-in 1.4x teleconverter and a brand new coating that Nikon guarantees will ship the very best high quality anti-reflection efficiency in Nikkor lens historical past.
The corporate says the lens can have the power render extremely real looking and high-resolution colour whereas additionally offering what Nikon describes as a good looking and easy bokeh sample. The corporate additionally says this lens shall be very helpful for motion, sports activities, and wildlife photographers, in addition to being fairly helpful for videographers who goal to seize footage of the identical genres. On the time of publication, PetaPixel was not supplied particular particulars on this new coating, the anticipated worth, nor when the lens is predicted to return to market.
In reality, apart from the included picture and the few notes above, Nikon supplied scant little details about the lens.
If the period of time it took Nikon to go from saying the event of the Z9 to really totally unveiling the digicam is any indication of wait time, nevertheless, it should possible be a number of months earlier than extra is revealed. On that be aware, the present elements scarcity and world provide chain disruptions are more likely to delay any new product even additional, so it’s secure to imagine the lens gained’t be out there till 2022.
The newest 400mm f/2.8 that Nikon has produced could be the AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Lens which was originally released in 2014. It doesn’t embody a built-in teleconverter and the outside of the lens seems considerably totally different from the picture supplied of the brand new mirrorless 400mm f/2.8, so it’s possible secure to imagine that Nikon has redesigned or modified the optical method.
If that’s the case, that may be a departure from Canon’s selection to easily construct in an EF to RF mount adapter into its newest 400mm lens. there isn’t actually any indication that Canon’s selection made an inferior lens, however the selection did add a little bit of size to the lens that would have most likely been averted if Canon had chosen to alter the optical method. In Canon’s protection, its selection did enable it to launch the optic a lot sooner than it seems it should take Nikon to provide its new one.
