Brand Nikon System Nikon Z

The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is a full-frame all-in-one zoom covering a 14.2x range in a 725 g barrel. Its strength is that it removes the lens change: a wide street frame, a portrait at 85mm and a distant subject at 400mm all come from the same piece of glass, with optical VR rated to 5.0 stops and up to 5.5 stops on bodies that support Synchro VR.

It collapses to 141.5 mm with a zoom lock at 28mm so the barrel does not creep on a strap, the square hood reverses without blocking the zoom ring, and the front takes common 77mm filters. Be clear-eyed about the aperture: f/4 at the wide end drops to f/8 by 400mm, so this is a daylight and travel lens rather than a low-light one. If you are trying to decide between this and a 24-120mm plus a tele, come talk it through with us.

One Lens, 14.2x Range

28mm to 400mm on full frame is a 14.2x range, which covers a wide street shot and a distant bird without a lens change. Nikon holds it to 725 g and 141.5 mm collapsed, so it travels in a normal bag. The honest price of that range is the aperture: f/4 at the wide end falls to f/8 by 400mm, so it wants daylight or a body you are comfortable pushing on ISO.

Close Focus and Optics

At 28mm this focuses to 0.2 m from the focal plane, which gives a 0.35x reproduction ratio and lets you get close on flowers and food without a macro lens. The optical design uses 21 elements in 15 groups with four ED elements plus aspherical elements, and the diaphragm has 9 rounded blades.

Handling and Stabilization

There is a zoom lock at 28mm so the barrel does not creep while you walk, and the square hood can be reversed and still allow zooming. Optical VR is rated to 5.0 stops on its own, and up to 5.5 stops on bodies that support Synchro VR. Autofocus runs on a stepping motor, which is quiet enough for video. The barrel is weather sealed and takes common 77mm filters.
