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???
I think it’ll be 2100-2700
hoping it'd be in the $700-$900 range 🙃🙃🙃🙃
but for real, my guess is $1999.99 USD
3299
great video bro.
$3999
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 👀.
8:03: “im not allowed to tell you the settings”
8:09: *Shows settings on screen*
JP is the best 😂
He didn't 'tell' the settings....😂
Nikon is really killing it with these lens releases! Happy to see them doing so well and finally jumping into mirrorless with both feet!
I'm just glad to see some super telephoto lenses that are much more affordable
@@RabidNemo Agreed, great job by Nikon!
@@IanHobday I feel like someone in R&D at Nikon went "Hey maybe there's people who aren't retired dentists shooting birds, national geographic, and paparazzi; who want a super telephoto but can't afford $14k "
@@RabidNemo
Sooo truee😊
At that price you can really afford it, and actually get amazing IQ and AF.
Its not cheap but its not 10k + whic is great 😌
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
Supposedly canon will be releasing a 500 f4 DO which should be amazing if it’s anything like the 400 DO
@@daillengineer fingers crossed ✌🏼
@Photo Bunny it will be the same design as the mkii I’m sure. If so, that would be amazing. I live my 400 do ii
@Photo Bunny this is an mk ii. got it brand new in march.
envious as well and tempted to switch. For sports, this 400 4.5 and the 100-400 are better solutions that the Canon 100-500 4.5-7.1
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
This must be a king of Size AND Weight AND Price AND Quality All in ONE, it Must be it!
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!
Love what Nikon is doing, making very light and compact lenses.
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 😭
Damn!! Just take my money.!!!! Lol! I am mostly a. Wildlife photographer in Costa Rica and knowing how important it is to move fast and silently thru the rainforest I believe this lens would get those photos many of us has missed due not being able to react as quickly as we all wished! Can’t wait to see it tests in the wild!
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.
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.
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
Nikon are doing a lot of great things for wildlife photogs, I love the pf lenses and this one seems to be another winner. Z9 is a fine camera but I'm going to wait till they bring out the Z8 (a cut down Z9). Meanwhile short term make do with my Canon gear pre-ordered an R7.
8:03 "I'm not allowed to show you the settings of these pictures for some reason..." show the evf with all the settings on the next shot. great video as always!
looks crazy light... well kind of... Jared has arms for sure
Great preview and another amazing lens by Nikon. Very smart offering a 2.8 TC and a 4.5 in their lineup. Curious about the price especially compared to the 100-400.
This is a great lens
In Japan, it hasn't been officially announced yet
I'm looking forward to the day when I can take pictures
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!
Lens looks awesome, super impressed by the size. I wonder what it'll cost. Great job Nikon
Hands down, your preview was the best.
Wow, that bunt shot is amazing. Incredible image.
This reminds me of an article I read several years ago about how really good f/4 glass was becoming the new go to, because it was faster and significantly better than the variable aperture consumer glass and the high end f/2.8 pro kit. This lens is right there!
I loved the comparison shot of the 2.8 right next to the 4.5, great video.
This is the lens that I have been waiting on. Now, I hope that they will release a Z90 to go with it.
Cost is the only thing I’d be worried about, looks like a solid lens
Props to Nikon PR for sending pre-announcement items to the youtuber who probably trash-talks them the most of them all.
Very smart of them, because they know Jared and we all are secretly (or openly) rooting for them to get back on the leading position and even he's ultra harsh on them, it's all honest and actually positive feedback (even if it's negative).
Are we not going to talk about the amazing shots Jared took from both lenses?
That s crazy what a awesome lens ..if i shot sport and wildlife i would def go over to nikon when i go over to mirrorless
Very nice concise video- the other longer S lenses are out of my budget, but this one looks interesting. f/4.5 is good enough for me- add a tele-converter if needed- Nikon's high ISO sensors can take it.

However one may feel about Jared Polin's personality (or rather, his "on-air" personality), I cannot argue with his photographs. Check out the photo on the right at 12:49. Despite being taken with the "lesser" lens, it is the better photo simply because the composition is so damn good.
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!
Nice preview review Jared! I think in some instances I think I prefer the background to be slightly in focus the way the 4.5 handles the images. It depends on the composition I guess. Saving the monies? Yes please.

Thanks Jared. This lens + Z8 ...you think best sports combo under $7K from any major manufacturer?
Based on what you said and Especially what you showed Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY Is going to buy this lens.
That lens is pretty cool. I wish Sony had a smaller telephoto lens
I was just about to comment this.
Ill send the Nikon Brochure
@@Mr09260 I won't switch just for a couple neat features. Sony is still the king 👑. I don't see Nikon or Anyone else making drones and high end camera gear like Sony does. Sony forced everyone to change to mirror less. Nikon just caught up and it will be awhile before I'm convinced they have really figured it would out. It's a good system but Sony is always number one.
I’m wondering if you’re ever going to go back and do a review on this Jared. I think this is a rather unique lens with nothing else really comparable on other systems. Would love to see a full review.
Fabulous. Dear Jared, Please do compare with the 500 pf f5.6 f mount if possible on your final review. The 400 f2.8 is not everyone's cup of tea anyways. Also performance with the z 1.4 tc. Those images look too good!
You are the best Photographer in the world!!!!!
Looks good!! I don’t think I’m ready to part with my F mount 200-400 VR I. It pairs nice with my D500 & Z9 for most of the sports I shoot. That’s gonna be a nice lens though!
Congratulations you have been selected among my shortlisted winners 🎁💐

I don't know. This is going to be very price dependent, because sports pros aren't going to be willing to lose that separation at distance. It's a curious lens for us amateur types for sure.
If the price is right, this could be a great prosumer lens.
I have the 200, 300 and now need a 400. I think I may have to go with the 4.5 for now. Now in two years from now I can for sure budget in the 400 with the 1.4tc.
great video. one suggestion, when doing the full review please compare the F mount 400mm f/2.8. my sense the price of the Z f/4.5 new would be similar to a second hand F 400mm f/2.8, and then the decision becomes more interesting.
Wow Jared. Thanks. I wish you had added a few side by side images of the 100-400 at 400. I bet those come soon.
Wow, wasn't expecting this today! I'm surprised it's not PF - I'm impressed they were able to make this lens without that optical formula.
I was expecting it to be relatively affordable, but now I'm wondering just how low Nikon is going to go maybe $2k? I'm trying to decide now if maybe I should swap my 800pf pre-order for the 400mm 4.5!
this one will be very hard to get.
rather from $2.5K and up
@@renessda5519 Easily At least
Jared is like i cant show you the settings... also Jared shows evf recording 😁 Nikon money track is backing off 😁
this is a great compromise 400mm f4.5 for the size/weight. Hopefully the price is cheap enough, I can see a lot of sport shooters who can't afford the massive price tag of the f2.8 jump to this if its like $1,999.99
you mean exclusive as the other 2 youtube channels I have in my feed with the same lens?
wow
cool. Now i need a 200 2.8 pf that packs as small as a 100mm macro. That one would be even cooler and the lens i'd take out when light's done for the day while i'm still in the field. I've got my own tele and i won't bother carrying more if they aren't for an absolute other purpose
Nice images out of it. But come on Nikon get the frickin 200-600 released.
Thank you. Great comparison to the 400 2.8. I would be more interested in how it compares to the 100-400 at the long end. Pricing will likely be in the same ballpark. The 100-400 will be more versitile. Weight difference can't be too much.
+1 guessing the cost will be closer to 100-400
The EF 100-400 ii is de best!
As a hobbyist, I wouldn't be able to justify a 400 2.8 without upgrading my Z5 to the Z9. I do feel comfortable upgrading to these 'prosumer' tier lenses and eventually upgrading to a Z6iii Z7iii. I imagine it will be ~$4kUSD going by the price of the 800 6.3. Looking forward to your full review and comparison between the 100-400 and other, similar lenses.
I hope it will be cheaper than the 500mm F5.6 PF. 4k seems too high a price.
@@victorlim5077 you may be right... I am Australian, so I default to AUD in my mind. The 100-400 Z is about $4100AUD down here. Maybe it will be similarly priced to the 100-400... I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
Even as a hobbyist the 400 2.8 cost $14,000 I'm pretty well off but I would rather remodel my bathroom but drop that much on a lens
@@RabidNemo I think that's a good perspective to maintain, even after achieving financial success. The hedonic treadmill trips many a consumer!
@@jamesk122 I just have a level of frugalness from my grandmother and my dad was ever the bargain hunter. I swear the two of them would haunt me if I bought a lens like that without a good reason. That being said I am most likely going to buy the 800 pf. Mainly because the image quality seems to be stellar and I live in an area where I sit back on a hillside overlooking the water to the West with the Olympic mountains in Washington state out across the way so I want something with reach. There's also a lot of marine traffic that goes by including aircraft carriers, submarines, large container ships, and the ferry run also docks just down from me
I have an ebay purchased used tamron 100-400 4.5-6.3 and it's what i have. I've learned how to get decent images on it, but, man it's not very sharp. Better for landscapes than birds.
I'd love a new z mount telephoto
Grand Slam presentation! THANK YOU!
tell nikon to make 17-55 f2.8 z dx s line lens
I am happy to see Nikon proving it's worth. I saw a lot of reviews where people suggested Nikon quit the camera business, I wonder what they would say now... Great review Jared, as always.
Jared was one of the bit ones screaming from the rooftop that nikon was closing doors
200-600 ASAP pls Nikon!!
the benefit of the weight is surely there, but once you feel what's 600mm like you're not going to like 400mm anymore when it comes to telephoto lenses. i bought a sigma 150-600 5-6.3 and i absolutely love it. And the separation is brilliant past 400mm anyway.
what's the pont of this whole preview without the sniff-test? Left me a bit unsatisfied.
I actually need this lens. This looks to be a smart offering from Nikon.
I do like that they are doing lenses like this, for those who don't need 2.8 or don't want to pay for the extra speed (so, for enthusiasts or casual shooters who don't want to spend thousands on a fast prime). This is another lens that I think nobody really saw coming (we knew about the 2.8 version, but not the new 4.5 version). Hopefully they will do an 800mm "slower" lens (maybe something like an f/8 even) and price it accordingly (maybe $1000-$1500). Although I would also like to see Nikon do a Z version of the popular 300 PF lens.
Can it take the TC’s and in good light does it perform well enough with TCs? 400 2.8 Z not suitable for all situations like risky kayak sessions etc
Love Telephoto Lens Videos!
That lens and the sample output is plenty usable. No complaints here.
I WANT THIS LENS! You've convinced me. $$ i have some saved up money. Only Nikon has this solution for this class.... I want to see more Nikon videos Mr.. P. I'm building up Nikon Inventory. I'm done buying Canon gear (just R1 then i'm done) and sold most of my Sony gear.
Please test it also against a 300 2.8 + 1,4 TC :).
Nikon have really nice new lenses... as a Canon shooter I m really envious! We have only this new expensive shitty lenses like 800 & 1200mm... Nikon at the same time: 800 f6,3 & soon 400 f4,5! bam!
Now they have to go full into the bodys... like a small Z9 and a APS-C beast!
great Jared. I wonder how this compares to the z 70-200 + 2xTC at 400,, which is f5.6 ?

Seems like they are listening to you and loyal Nikon users. Great pictures!
Thanks, Jared, for sharing another video with all the great images. Can you please make a video for the Megadap etz 21 adapters with Nikon Z9 and Sony lenses?
Thank you as this looks like a fantastic lens for a 400mm flow.
really excited about this one!
Thank you for sharing the news Jared.
OMG OMG OMG 😳😳😳😳😳 😲😲😲
Im surprised Nikon keep coming to Polin to be honest after he turned against them a couple of years ago.
He didn’t turn against them just didn’t prefer them for some solid reasons
I have waiting for this Lens!!
Would be interested in a comparison between this lens and the existing 100-400mm lens. What would make an owner of that lens want to buy this new one? Would it be better enough to justify a new purchase?
Suggest me a good wildlife photography lenses for Nikon d7500m
Did you ever do a post release update or review?
Question: Need Fro wisdom: taking high school sports , have nikon z6ii, if I had to purchase nikon new 400 prime, or the nikon 100 -400 zoom both appear to be similar price range, a y suggestion?
I love Nikon! Yeah
Thank you for this Jared.
I always loved F mount 300mm/f4 and wanted the same lense for Z mount. I didn't excpect 400mm/f4.5 but i guess it is like 300mm/f4?
I have the 300 PF too, but this is not PF. One of my fave lenses, but this 400 looks amazing.
What would be your opinion between a 200-500 f/5.6 and a 400 f/4.5 with my Nikon D850 for bird photography.
So how does it compare to the 200-600 that also isn’t out yet?! Wait, don’t tell us
Cloudy and overcast? Welcome to Pennsylvania.
Yeah Nikon with practical stuff.
I agree on it being a bit short for birding which is why I'm on the fence with it. I still shoot with the much cheaper 200-500 on an FTZ and I'm getting to the point where I want to upgrade but I feel like the options are limited. If I want native Z glass, its either this which is a bit short or the 800 6.3 which is more than double the price and pretty slow. (or I start selling kidneys for the big toys) I feel like the Nikon super tele lineup could really use something like a 600 5.6 at like a $5000 or $6000 price point to sit in the middle.
Great preview...and don't forget, besides the sniff-test, doing the windblow test too!
:-)
Thanks for that preview Jared. Nikon is doing very well.

I know you used the Z9, you said you would not use the Z6 with this lens?
I like how you say you can't show the settings but have the settings in the lead up to the shot lol. You are awesome Jared! Unless you had Stephen edit them in post with that video voodoo magic...
Fro knows.
Hell....I can see a looong waiting list for this lens
Nikon ❤🙌🏼
Jarod Help! Nikon z8 cards over heating when shooting raw.
I beg to differ on those backgrounds. Many of them were distracting with the big swirl.
You da man! First up as far as I can tell. I’m guessing you have N idea of what this will sell for. Between pricing on the Z9 , 800pf& now this, = great business move on Nikon’s end.
Amazing lens. Great preview. 👍
Great video fro, enjoyed it
