Hmm, well I would guess the weight to be in line with 6.1-6.4 range. Even if they manage to shave some weight off, the tc has to ad to the overall size. It doesn't look long though. The whole time he holds it, I kept thinking how stubby and light it looked. If it falls in the 5lb range, and is 14" or shorter, I will bite the bullet and trade in my 500E. If it's heavier and more then 12, say 14k, then I will hang on to the 500 and get the 800PF when it comes out.Here are Canon and Sony specs (sorry international friends, US focused)
Canon - 6.4" x 14.4", 6.4 Lbs, $12,000
Sony - 6.1" x 14.1", 6.4 Lbs, $12,000
Current Nikon FX
Nikon - 6.3" x 14.1", 8.4 Lbs, $11,200

Where will the Nikon Z TC 400 fall?
Hopefully weight will be close to 6.5 lbs, perhaps Nikon was able to weight below 6 lb? Great engineering feat if they could.
Diameter around 6.1-6.4", length ? Will the TC add length? Canon and Sony 400 ML lens are the same length as the Nikon FX lens.
Price - hopefully not over $13,000. ideally $12,000 or $12,500.
It’s a prime. So one ring will be focus. Another will be the cobtrol ring you can assign to ISOot Aperture etc .Buttons towards the front are smart. What are the 3 rings for? Zoom, Focus and Aperture?
Like to know weight and price. I know be patience
EXCLUSIVE Nikon Z 400mm 2.8 TC PREVIEW | The MOST EXPENSIVE Lens You Will Never OWN!
19,000+ YouTube views in 4 hours is probably pretty good for Nikon too
He was probably the most visible detractors/defectors when he s**t so publicly on the D6, so whatever they paid him it was worth it.idly, i wonder how much actual money that Nikon letting him handle that lens early and make that video earned Jared.

Any ideas on what the ring with ridges like piano keys - Jarod referred to it as the piano ring - does?It does seem to have 2 control rings in addition to the focus ring. I would guess they're both configurable unless Nikon have some special function on one of them.
Seems like it is under 3 kgs, the way he was talking about it!Well here it is. Must be coming very soon. View attachment 30594
I was surprised by this and hope it’s just a mistake. Seems odd since the 180-400mm with built in TC takes external TCs I believe.B&H says lens does not accommodate an external TC.
Built in TC is clever and great but then can you add another TC as well ???? what if i want to use a TC x 2 ????? which is more often the case in what i do.
