New Nikon 200-400 on its way
Just advised
Nikon is pleased to announce the release of the AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G
ED VR II, an FX-format compatible telephoto zoom lens with a focal range of 200 mm to the super telephoto 400 mm.
In addition to the adoption of Nano Crystal Coat and the VR II vibration reduction system, which offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a shutter speed increase of approximately 4 stops, the lens is equipped with A/M (autofocus with manual override, AF priority) mode.
AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II Primary Features
● A super telephoto zoom lens with a range of focal lengths from 200 mm to 400 mm
Coverage for a wide range of focal lengths enables capture of a wide variety of angles of
view with a single lens.
● Nano Crystal Coat significantly reduces ghost and flare
● Built-in (VR II) vibration reduction offering camera shake compensation equivalent
to a shutter speed increase of approximately four stops
● ED lens elements (4) adopted for superior chromatic aberration compensation
● A/M (autofocus with manual override, AF priority) mode added
The addition of A/M (autofocus with manual override, AF priority) mode prevents accidental
switching from autofocus to manual focus. Along with M/A (autofocus with manual override,
MF priority) mode, which enables manual focusing by rotating the focus ring while autofocus
is operating, and M (manual focus) mode, this makes for a total of three focus modes.
