FS: Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S - LNIB

Up for sale is my Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S in exceptional, like-new condition.

I have a unique history with this specific copy: I originally purchased it brand new directly from Nikon USA and later sold it here on FM. When the buyer posted it for sale a while later, I repurchased it immediately without hesitation because it was hands-down one of the sharpest prime copies I have ever owned (visibly sharper than my 100-400mm at 400mm).

The only reason I am parting with it again is that an opportunity came up to step up to the 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S.

Because the lens remains in the exact same pristine, like-new condition as depicted in the previous sales threads, I haven’t uploaded new photos here. You can inspect all photos, provenance, and feedback in both threads linked below (and I am more than happy to take and send fresh, timestamped photos upon request):
