Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens

Less to carry, more to see. Impressive 14.2x zoom

The hugely versatile focal-length range covers 28mm at the wide-angle end, 400mm at the super-telephoto end—and everything in between.

Lightweight and balanced

Weighing only 725 g, this wide-angle to super-telephoto lens is incredibly easy to handle. Panning and subject acquisition is smooth, even when extended all the way to 400mm.

Up to 5.5-stop VR

5.0 stops of built-in optical vibration reduction counteract shake, for sharp shots even in low light. Used with a Nikon Z camera that has Synchro VR, compensation expands to 5.5 stops.

Great up close

Minimum focus distance is just 0.2 m from subjects at the wide-angle end, and 1.2 m away when zoomed to 400mm.3 A maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35x enables awesome close-ups.

Reliable autofocus

Nikon’s fast, quiet stepping motor ensures users find focus quickly, and offers near-silent operation.

Renowned Nikon ergonomics

The silent control ring is customisable, and a zoom-lock switch prevents the lens from extending accidentally.

Sealed and ready to go places

Reliable sealing around the mount and all moving parts prevents dust and water droplets from entering the lens barrel.

Square-shaped lens hood

The included hood boasts an eye-catching squared design. It can be inverted to save space when storing the lens, and it’s possible to shoot with the hood still inverted.
