Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G Ed VR II

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4.0G ED VR lens is a compact and fast lens that delivers superior image quality. This compact super telephoto zoom lens is ideal for sports and wildlife shooting as it offers constant maximum aperture.

The lens boasts four Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements that produce extreme sharpness and color correction as chromatic aberrations are effectively reduced and eliminated. It also features Nikon Super Integrated Coating that virtually eliminates coma and other lens aberrations as well such as flare and ghosting.

Nikon has equipped the lens with its Vibration Reduction II (VR) Image Stabilization technology, which enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower. This allows for much sharper images.

Powered by the exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Monitor (SWM) and Internal Focus (IF) design, the lens achieves fast and silent autofocus. The M/A Focus Mode Switch, meanwhile, enables quick and easy changes between manual and autofocus operation.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II has an excellent build quality and is ruggedly made. Its magnesium die-cast barrel construction is robust and durable. For added protection, the lens is equipped with dust and moisture-resistance.
