Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR Lens

With an extensive 14.2x zoom range and a lightweight design of just 725g, the Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR Lens is an incredibly versatile all-in-one zoom lens. It is designed for full frame (FX) mirrorless Z cameras, where it zooms from a 28mm wide angle to 400mm super telephoto range. Crop sensor cameras (DX) benefit from a 1.5x crop factor, resulting in a range of 42-600mm, which is equally versatile, and enables you to capture even more distant subjects.

With this range you can photograph everything from landscapes and portraits to sports and wildlife, and of course this is also an excellent travel option, allowing you to bring just one Nikon Z lens and still get all of the shots.

Nikon has integrated effective optical vibration reduction (VR) to ensure sharp results while shooting handheld, which is especially useful in low-light conditions. The lens delivers an impressive 5-stops of shake compensation, or 5.5-stops when paired with a compatible camera with Synchro VR.

Results are excellent thanks to an optical design which includes special aspherical and ED elements, and you can capture close-up macro images with a high magnification, allowing for even more creative versatility.

If you use camera lens filters you may already have ones which fit the common 77mm filter thread found on the Z 28-400 lens, and outdoor creators will appreciate the reliable weather sealing, which helps to keep dust and moisture out.

One lens – endless creativity

With its extensive 14.2x zoom range, the Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens covers many of the most popular focal widths, including 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm and on through 200mm telephoto to 300mm and 400mm super telephoto lengths.

This allows you to bring just this one lens on almost any photo trip, whether capturing street photos in the city, distant birds and wildlife, or creative beach shots and landscapes. What’s more, the 725g lightweight design and compact portability mean that you won’t be tempted to leave this at home and can take it wherever your imagination leads.

Powerful built-in stabilisation

Whichever situation you’re shooting handheld in, the Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens has you covered with built-in optical vibration reduction. The stabilisation system supports Synchro VR with a compatible camera body and includes SPORT mode, which stabilises the viewfinder image, enhancing stability during fast-paced shooting situations.

This lens combines great balance, lightweight portability and renowned usability found across the entire range of Nikon lenses. It has a customisable silent control ring, a zoom lock switch and a comes with a square lens hood, which can be mounted backwards to save space when stored.
