Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens

Nikon Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens

A super-telephoto zoom lens of extraordinary ambition, the NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the world’s first 1 f/2.8 zoom with a built-in teleconverter. Sharpness, depth and bokeh that rivals Nikon’s legendary primes. Speed that keeps pace with the fastest sports and action, and brightness that unlocks creative opportunities in the toughest lighting. All with the freedom of a 120-300mm zoom range, extendable to 168-420mm at the flick of a switch.

Features:

• Versatile 120-300mm zoom range: Perfect for a huge range of disciplines, including sports, wildlife and events.
• Built-in 1.4x TC: More efficient than external teleconverters—go from 300mm to 420mm in an instant, while
  maintaining optical quality.
• High-speed, high-precision AF powered by SSVCM: Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM) improves scanning time by 60% at 120mm and 30% at 300mm compared to the previous-generation F mount lens.
• Just as sharp, 1.55 lbs (705 g) lighter : 2 With performance equivalent to the famed AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR, but significantly lighter for more agile, portable handling.
• Stabilization you can trust: Built-in VR gives up to 6.5 stops 3 of Vibration Reduction image stabilization for steady, detailed images when panning or shooting handheld.
• Built for pros: Durable, weather-sealed construction is built for use in tough conditions. Convenient built-in Arca-Swiss-compatible 4 tripod foot removes the need for extra mounting plates and concealed security slot provides confidence against theft.
