Nikon Z 400mm f4.5 for Wildlife Photography | Field test and review | lightweight long lens on Z9

I'm back with another video and today we are talking about the Nikon Z 400mm f4.5!

I was lucky enough to have this lens on loan for a few months and have been working with it in a variety of situations, photographing a range of subjects, a great chance to put this new lens to the test for some wildlife photography.

I've certainly been impressed with the lens in all aspects, the focus is fast and reliable, the images sharp and very pleasing, with a good all round feel and wonderful lightweight design! I think for a lot of people this is going to be a great choice for their wildlife photography.

A big thanks to George for some of the video clips - shot as part of the Winter Wildlife course I presented and filmed with Wex late last year - you can check it all out here    • Online Masterclass | Winter Wildlife ...  

If you're interested in the Nikon Z 400mm f4.5 you can pick one up here from Wex in the UK - https://tidd.ly/3x5oHB4

What do you think about this lens, is the lightweight design something you're after for your shooting style? Or are those big primes like the 600mm f4 Z TC really pulling at the heart!
