The Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S is trending, and I often think of it as the one that got away. You see, I’ve proclaimed that my Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is my favorite Z lens, and it is. But sometimes, I do get a little jealous of the Nikon 100-400mm.
When I bought the 180-600mm, it was right at the top of my budget and I couldn’t really afford to stretch to the S-Line 100-400mm. I figured the difference between the aperture ranges wasn't all that much, while also being counteracted by the additional 200mm of focal length headroom. And I still stand by that.
