NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR Overview

 

The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is a versatile, high-magnification zoom lens that spans an impressive focal length range from 28 mm to 400 mm, marking it as a standout in the NIKKOR Z lineup. With an approximate 14.2× zoom ratio, the highest in its class, this lens excels in capturing detailed images and expressive facial features, even from a distance.

Ideal for dynamic scenarios where subjects move frequently, such as sports events, amusement park rides, and parades, this lens offers remarkable flexibility. Its minimum focus distance of 0.2 meters at the wide-angle end and 1.2 meters at the telephoto end makes it perfect for close-up and tabletop photography. With a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35x, you can capture larger-than-life images with delicate detail, whether photographing plants or other subjects.

In the telephoto range, the lens produces beautifully blurred backgrounds when shooting up close. Despite its super-telephoto capabilities, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR remains compact and lightweight, weighing only about 725 grams, the lightest in its class. This makes it easy to carry, whether you're travelling or just capturing everyday moments.

The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR also adopts a stepping motor (STM) which enables fast autofocus drive, allowing rapid focus on moving subjects, and a vibration-reduction function with performance equivalent to a 5.0-stop*3 increase in shutter speed that is very effective for hand-held shooting. Furthermore, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR supports linear MF operation*4 to facilitate focusing on the intended subject during video recording.
