$The world’s first*1 interchangeable zoom lens to combine a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture with a built-in 1.4× teleconverter, delivering exceptional optical performance and flexibility for fast-paced shooting environments MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA, 31 October 2026 - Nikon Middle East FZE is pleased to announce the release of the NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S, a professional telephoto zoom lens compatible with full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras. As part of Nikon’s S-Line2 range, the NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the world’s first1 interchangeable zoom lens to combine a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8*3 with a built-in 1.4× teleconverter. The lens covers a focal length range of 120–300mm and can extend its reach to 420mm with a single action, giving sports photographers the flexibility to respond quickly to changing shooting conditions without switching lenses. Designed for the demands of professional sports photography, the lens combines exceptional optical performance with the versatility to capture a wide range of fast-moving subjects and shooting environments, including: Low-light indoor figure skating competitions Outdoor sports such as tennis and football matches Wildlife and nature photography Events requiring long-range coverage Its maximum aperture and advanced optical design deliver outstanding resolution and smooth, natural bokeh, enabling photographers to capture athletes’ facial expressions and movements in fine detail, creating immersive images with remarkable clarity. The lens also delivers rendering performance comparable to that of a prime lens across the frame, while offering the flexibility of a zoom. Despite incorporating a built-in teleconverter, it weighs approximately 2,735 g, about 515 g lighter than its predecessor, the AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR, released in 2020. This lighter design, together with the convenience of extending focal length without switching equipment, supports greater mobility and responsiveness when photographing fast-moving sports action.

Feature 2: Exceptional optical performance across diverse lighting conditions The NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S features Nikon's Meso Amorphous Coat, which delivers the highest anti-reflection performance in Nikon's history*⁵, alongside ARNEO Coat to effectively suppress ghosting and flare. Together, these technologies are designed to support clear, high-quality image rendering, even in challenging lighting conditions, such as: Stadium and arena lighting Bright sunlight Strong backlighting Floodlights and stage lighting Feature 3: Stable handheld shooting with advanced vibration reduction The lens delivers up to 6.5-stop*6 vibration reduction (VR) performance at the centre and edges of the frame when used with a camera that supports Synchro VR.
