The NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens from Nikon is a high-powered tool perfect for capturing sports, wildlife, and more. Featuring a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and bleeding-edge optical, vibration reduction, and autofocus systems, this super-telephoto zoom is made unique by the incorporation of a 1.4x teleconverter, allowing you to rapidly switch to an effective 420mm f/4 lens for greater reach.
Â
Built-In 1.4x Teleconverter
Â
- Incorporated 1.4x teleconverter allows you to instantly extend your reach to 420mm with the flip of a switch.
- By integrating the teleconverter into the lens housing, it is optically matched to the lens for improved imaging performance and also fully maintains the lens' weather sealing.
- When the teleconverter is in use, this 120-300mm f/2.8 becomes an effective 168-420mm f/4 lens.
Â
S-Line Optics
Â
- Fast f/2.8 maximum aperture combined with the telephoto zoom range allows you to produce an extremely shallow depth of field in order to separate subjects from a busy background. The large aperture also ensures this lens excels in low-light situations everywhere from the woods at twilight to a poorly lit football field.
- One Super ED, one ED (extra-low dispersion) and one SR (short-wavelength refractive) element combine with one Aspherical element to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and distortion for a more accurate final image.
- The SR element features a specialized high-dispersion design that refracts wavelengths shorter than blue; this helps achieve truly accurate color rendering and also aids in making the lens design more compact.
Â
Edge-to-Edge Image Stabilization
Â
- Vibration Reduction image stabilization reduces the appearance of camera shake by over 6.5 stops from the center to the edges, making the lens more reliable for handheld use in low-light situations.
- Synchro VR is also supported when paired with compatible cameras featuring sensor-shift VR, which combines in-body VR with optical VR for improved results.
Â
Portable Design, Intuitive Handling
Â
- The weight of the lens has been drastically reduced without compromising the image quality through the thinning of lens elements, reduction of moving lens groups, and simplification of mechanical components.
- Advanced weather sealing incorporates rubber gaskets to prevent dust and moisture from entering the lens.
- Two customizable L-Fn buttons can be set to configure subject tracking, AF lock, image playback, or other modes.
- Store a focusing position using the Memory Set button so you can instantly return to this by position by rotating the Fn ring-perfect for capturing fleeting movements.
- An Arca-type plate is integrated into the lens foot for more convenient mounting on tripods and other stabilization systems.
- The lens hood has been redesigned with minimal taper for improved portability.
- Compatible with optional Z-Teleconverter TC-1.4x and TC-2x in addition to the incorporated 1.4x TC to further extend the reach of this lens.
- Choose between using 112mm threaded filters on the front element or drop-in 46mm filters via the included filter holder.
