Nikon Z 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 VR S Nikkor Z Lens

*

Having used this lens for a few weeks now I've been impressed with both the performance and sharpness that I've seen so far and I've also really appreciated how much lighter and more compact it is to carry around with me

It's a fantastic lens and Harrisons provided the same fantastic service that they always have provided and why I'll continue to use them in the future

Superb service as per from Harrisons, this lens has had reviews saying it’s slightly soft at 400mm. Absolutely not true and I own many S lenses. Even at f5.6 I have absolutely no problem with the fine detail on birds, as sharp as any Nikkor S lens I’ve used. Grabbed it while it was on the winter offer so superb value for money. Glad I sold my 180-600 for this as it’s far more compact and lighter. Easily handholdable all day, and I can get this one in a shoulder bag no problem.

I recently purchased this lens from Harrison Cameras and have been delighted by its performance on the build quality and the range is just right for my landscape and wildlife needs. However, I did notice a very minor issue with slight paint loss/wear or lack of coating on the knurled function/aperture ring. Although it does in no way affect performance it means it would not be classed "As New" if I wanted to sell and shouldn’t be there on a new lens of this cost and caliber. I must add the lens had not been opened in the shop. I have contacted Nikon for their thoughts on this as it may be a quality control issue or reconditioned sample? I did also speak to Harrison Cameras, who were understanding and I can’t fault, as their service is excellent and would have replaced it if within the 14 day return period. (always open and check lens straight away!) I’m therefore giving it 4 stars not 5 because of this slight issue.

What an amazing lens. Fast focusing, well balanced and very good image quality. Expensive but worth it. I bought it with a 2x teleconverter which slows down focus speed but they work well together, even hand held. Top service as always from Harrison Cameras.
