Nikon NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens (Z Mount)

OVERVIEW

High-Speed Super-Telephoto Zoom

Combining prime-lens speed and clarity with super-telephoto flexibility, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is an extraordinary tool engineered for sports, action, and wildlife. Built around a fast f/2.8 constant aperture and cutting-edge optical, stabilization, and AF systems, this lens stands apart with its built-in 1.4x teleconverter—allowing you to instantly extend reach to an effective 168–420mm f/4 at the flick of a switch.

Integrated 1.4x Teleconverter

Instant Reach: Flip the built-in lever to instantly transition from a 120–300mm f/2.8 to a 168–420mm f/4 lens setup.

Optical Optimization: Custom-matched to the internal glass elements, maintaining pristine image quality and full weather-sealed integrity without adding external bulk.

Flagship S-Line Optics

Shallow Depth & Low Light: The bright f/2.8 aperture isolates subjects against distracting backgrounds and excels in challenging lighting conditions.

Advanced Element Design: Features Super ED, ED, SR (Short-Wavelength Refractive), and Aspherical elements to eliminate chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and distortion.

Compact Color Precision: The specialized SR element refracts short-wavelength light for ultra-accurate color rendering in a streamlined lens design.

Silky Swift VCM Autofocus

Magnet-Driven Precision: The Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (VCM) utilizes magnetic drive technology and a guide-bar mechanism for rapid, whisper-quiet, and ultra-smooth focus tracking.

Prime-Beating Speed: Outperforms traditional telephoto zooms with up to 30% faster AF speeds than the famed 400mm f/2.8 prime.

Cinema Ready: Extremely quiet operation with suppressed focus breathing for seamless video capture.

Edge-to-Edge Image Stabilization

6.5-Stop VR: Built-in Vibration Reduction compensates for up to 6.5 stops of camera shake across the entire frame for steady handheld shooting.

Synchro VR Support: Combines in-lens optical VR with compatible Z-series in-body sensor stabilization for maximum performance.

Anti-Reflective Coatings

Meso Amorphous & ARNEO: Advanced multi-coating technology suppresses ghosting, flare, and reflections from all light angles, maintaining rich contrast and true-to-life colors in severe backlighting.

Ergonomic & Portable Design

Lightweight Handling: Engineered with thinner glass elements and streamlined mechanics to reduce overall weight without compromising optical quality.

Weather-Sealed Construction: Comprehensive rubber gaskets shield against dust, moisture, and harsh environments.

Custom Control & Memory: Features programmable L-Fn buttons and a Memory Set button to instantly recall saved focus positions using the Fn ring.

Integrated Mount & Filters: Features an Arca-type tripod foot, a compact tapered hood, and support for both 112mm front-thread filters and 46mm drop-in filters.

Extended Reach: Fully compatible with external Z-Teleconverters (TC-1.4x and TC-2x) in addition to the built-in 1.4x TC.
