    I am very pleased with the Z 100-400 zoom. The lens is well balanced and easy to use with the 1/4 turn zoom ring covering the full range. This lens takes great photos, they are crisp and clear from corner to corner. The Bokeh is very nice, and the optical stabilization of over 5 stops is helpful.

    It is the right tool for capturing those subjects at a distance and in some cases in motion. Amazingly sharp and details that will surprise you. Definitely recommend this lens. Looking forward to my next adventure.

    Comfortable, maneuverable and reactive! I love this lens! I am using it to photograph sports like football & basketball. It is my first Z mount, I’ve been using the adapter for my F mount lenses. I can finally appreciate the quality & clarity of Z6ii during the action shots.

    I bought this for wildlife photography and found it to be tack sharp when fully extended at 400mm. Also got the Nikon z 1.4 teleconverter to compliment this lens and found it keeps the integrity of this lens and doesn’t soften any details with the increase to 560mm. Alternatively the 180-600 is cheaper but it doesn’t have the soft bokeh this lens produces behind the subject, so pictures have a worse background. Don’t risk and then have regret, get the 100-400mm the first time!

    Great lens. Fast, smooth and sharp. Great for sports and travel. I've wanted this lens for months and put it on my BestBuy's alert list. Bought as soon as I was alerted. Latest word is that Nikon has temporarily stopped shipping them because the demand was overwhelming.

    I have been shooting with my Nikkor 200-400 f/4 over the last decade and purchased this lens as a lightweight alternative for an upcoming trip to Hawaii. Upon comparative testing using my Z9, the sharpness of this lens exceeds my 200-400 while weighing about 50% less. Very pleased with the purchase.

    Hadn’t had much of an opportunity to use this lens on my z711, but it is definitely has a top quality feel, I was looking for a compact zoom for travel and this will fit the bill for me.

    In short, an outstanding lens at any focal length that can also sports a minimum focus distance that allows it provide decent magnification as a macro lens. Focus is snappy and tracks well on my Z9. I couldn't be happier with the performance of this compact, lightweight lens. This lens, along with my 14-30mm and 24-120mm zooms makes for a very compact and lightweight "S-Lens" kit that covers 24-400mm with some overlap...24-560mm with the addition of a 1.4X Teleconverter! Well done, Nikon!

    Great lens. Bought for taking photos of wildlife in the trip to Alaska. Also great for shooting pictures for bird outside my house window LoL. It's a bit pricy but it's worth it if you use it frequently.

    High quality optics and smooth feel when zooming. Currently using with the Nikon z7ii and getting great photos. Appreciate the tripod mount on the lens as the additional optics add some weight.
