This is an EXCLUSIVE Hands-On Preview of the Nikon 400mm f4.5 telephoto lens. Nikon was gracious enough to bring this lens down for us to test out early and share our findings with you. We were not allowed to know the price, the launch date, the weight, and other specs. But I was able to take it to a Phillies with the Nikon Z9. I think Nikon hit it out of the park with this one.

I think Nikon hit it out of the park with this lens. What a solid option for people to choose. My biggest takeaway was seeing what 4.5 and 2.8 look like side by side. How much do you think this lens will cost???

Well done Jared and great job to everyone involved! Another great release by Nikon. Now tell them to hurry up with that 85mm f1.2 👀.
-
Nikon is really killing it with these lens releases! Happy to see them doing so well and finally jumping into mirrorless with both feet!
-
you hit a home run with this video Jared. great video . thanks for ur efforts . amazing stuff from nikon. i call this a game changer size and weight . wow
-
Even as a happy Canon shooter I can‘t help but feel a little jealous at these new Nikon releases. From a marketing perspective they really have found a good spot complementing their lineup with mid-range lenses that fit right between the enthusiast and professional realm, making big lenses more accessible with little compromise on quality and performance
-
Love what Nikon is doing, making very light and compact lenses.
-
This is fitting into the same spot as the Canon 400MM f/5.6, which is a legendary lens. If you're in the Nikon Z system and you're shooting wildlife or sports then this is going to be a great lens to have. And if you've been in the game long enough then you already know what to expect from this lens. Kudos to Nikon for getting this one made!
-
Fantastic video. I love my canon ef 100-400 4.5-5.6L version 2 but I do wish I had a 400 f/4. I can’t wait to see the price of it, probably make some Nikon shooters very happy. Amazing photos you took with it as well love the colors. Thanks for another great video Jared.
-
I hope y’all got your preorder bots ready because this is going to be another hard one to find for at least the next year or so 😭
-
As a portrait photographer, I never thought I would need or want a lens like this, but this one Broke my heart, it Just looks so good.
-
Wow, that bunt shot is amazing. Incredible image.
-
Dang! Thanks for sharing the image samples between the 2.8 and 4.5! The weight of it already sounds SUPER nice. Lugging around a 400 2.8 might look cool but man, after a running around with it, I bet it can get pretty tiring after an hour of shooting with it! Can't wait to try it out at automotive events >:D Thanks for this preview, man!
-
Great preview. Really nice. The lens looks great. I love your point at 7:22 about baseball photography. This is what I do when I shoot college softball. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks!
-
Another informative, engaging review. I was gawking at how good the images from the 400 f2.8 looked during that review. As you alluded to, the images from this lens look remarkably close to the 400 f2.8 To see Nikon has produced another powerhouse lens that will cost substantially less is great news
-
I loved the comparison shot of the 2.8 right next to the 4.5, great video.
-
Lens looks awesome, super impressed by the size. I wonder what it'll cost. Great job Nikon
-
Grand Slam presentation! THANK YOU!
-
This sounds great for me. I carry my D500 with 200-500mm by hand everywhere, so this + my Z6 ii should be a good combo.
-
Hands down, your preview was the best.
