One lens. So many stories.
Your position may be fixed, but your perspective doesn’t have to be. With a single lens, you can seamlessly move from the unfolding action to the defining moment.
The world’s first f/2.8 zoom with a built-in teleconverter.1
Without changing your grip or taking your eye off the action, engage the built-in 1.4x optical teleconverter and reach up to 420mm f/4.
630mm equiv. with DX Crop Mode.
Activate DX Crop Mode an extend your reach up to a 630mm equiv. angle of view. On the Z9, you can even set DX Crop Mode to activate automatically when the teleconverter is engaged.2
Extraordinary image quality.
A pinnacle of optical craftsmanship, the Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S delivers performance comparable to Nikon’s legendary prime lenses.
Nikon’s most advanced anti-glare coatings.
Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO Coat suppress ghosting and flare, preserving exceptional clarity, contrast and color, even in harsh backlighting.
Powerful image stabilization.
Up to 6.5-stops3 of Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization for panning with fast action, using slower shutter speeds and maximizing available light.
The flexibility of f/2.8.
Increase shutter speed to freeze fast action, lower ISO to reduce noise, transform busy backgrounds into beautiful bokeh and shoot in whatever light is available.
Next-generation focus performance.
In fast-paced moments, subject, distance and composition change in an instant. The Nikkor Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S has the AF performance to keep up.
Silky Swift VCM (SSVCM)
Nikon’s most advanced AF motor, driving focus elements with extraordinary speed, accuracy and quietness.
60% shorter AF scan time.4
Faster focus acquisition, even when your subject is initially out of focus.
Optimized for high frame rates.
New control algorithm guarantees peak performance from the fastest Nikon Z professional cameras—both today and in the future.
Fewer elements. Lighter weight.
Thanks to thinner lens elements, a reduction in the number of elements and an optimized lens barrel, the Nikkor Z 120-300mm TC VR S is approx. 1.5 lb (705 g) lighter than its F mount predecessor.5
Stable, consistent balance.
The lens center of gravity is nearer to the camera body for more controlled panning, and because the lens has internal zoom, that center of gravity never changes.
Dual filter options.
Compatible with your setup and workflow. 112mm screw-on front filters and 46mm slip-in rear filters can be used individually or together.
