120-300MMBUILT-IN 1.4X TCF/2.8 CONSTANT APERTURES-LINEPROFESSIONAL

Incredible shots of defining moments

This is the first telephoto zoom in the world¹ to give sports photographers a constant f/2.8 aperture and a built-in teleconverter. The venue, the crowd, the athletes chasing a win. You’ll be there when the moment happens.

Superior rendering, immersive detail

From sensational images that grab attention, to the quieter moments that stop you in your tracks. Specialised lens elements produce high-contrast images with exceptional clarity, even when shooting into strong sunlight or under bright artificial lighting.

Outstanding S-Line image quality

High-dispersion SR glass and Super ED glass effectively counter chromatic aberration and colour fringing. Skin tones look natural and colours are faithfully reproduced.

Peak performance with the built-in teleconverter

The TC switch is easy to reach when the moment strikes, and image quality remains superb. It’s comparable to that of a prime lens, even when working with the teleconverter engaged.

f/2.8 throughout the zoom range

The fast constant aperture lets you freeze action, isolate subjects against smooth bokeh, and nail clean, detailed images at lower ISO settings. Up to 6.5 stops² of
in-lens Vibration Reduction with Synchro VR³ keeps details sharp by compensating for even the smallest vibrations.

Breakthrough AF

You’ll experience thrilling new levels of precision thanks to a multi-focus system equipped with Nikon’s Silky Swift voice coil motors, and a new control algorithm that keeps pace with the fastest continuous shooting speeds. If you’re upgrading, the NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is quicker, sharper, and so much quieter than its F-mount predecessor.

Game-changing versatility

From the atmosphere in the venue to in-game action shots. What makes a winning image may change, but the determination and flexibility needed to capture it never does.

Nothing holding you back

You can use the 120-300mm focal-length range for dynamic general coverage, then engage the built-in teleconverter to get even closer. For larger venues, shooting in DX crop mode on a full-frame Nikon Z camera can increase your reach to 630mm.

Exceptional agility

The NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is approximately 515 g lighter than its Nikon F-mount predecessor, even with the built-in teleconverter.

The wide zoom ring and the control ring feature easy-grip rubber, and the control ring can also be used as a focus ring.

Internal zoom for balanced handling

The balanced internal zoom keeps the centre of gravity consistent when zooming. Handheld shooting is more stable, and if you’re shooting on a tripod you can change focal lengths without needing to adjust your setup.
