Reach when you need it
Engage the 1.4X teleconverter and increase focal length to 560mm, f/5.6. On
a DX camera like the ultra-fast D500, this is an 840mm equivalent angle of
view.
Never break posture
The teleconverter switch can be comfortably operated by most using a
right-hand finger without releasing the camera grip or taking an eye off
the viewfinder.

AF-S NIKKOR 180- 400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR Lens Features
A-M
A-M stands for Auto-Manual Mode. Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens barrel, smooth
focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the same way as users have become
accustomed to with conventional manual-focus lenses by adding an appropriate torque to the focus ring.
Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic
diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. With
conventional D/G type lenses, the diaphragm blades are operated by mechanical linkage levers.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to
obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
IF Lens
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not
change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing
distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
Vibration Reduction
A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for
camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

AF-S NIKKOR 180- 400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR Lens Features
Fluorite Lens Element
Fluorite (FL), a lightweight mono-crystal optical material, has excellent optical properties while
reducing overall lens weight to improve balance and handling, especially useful in longer focal
length lenses.
M/A
Select NIKKOR lenses have a focusing mode which allows switching from automatic to manual
focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens. This makes it
possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual focusing while looking through the viewfinder.
Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element
reflections across a wide range of wavelengths.
Super Integrated Coating
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in
NIKKOR lenses.
Silent Wave Motor
AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM). This technology converts
“traveling waves” into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed
autofocusing that's extremely accurate and super quiet.a
