The Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is a new Z-series superzoom lens with a versatile 14.2x zoom range in a compact, lightweight body, making it ideal for a wide variety of shooting situations.
The Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR weighs 725 grams and is the lightest lens in the NIKKOR Z lineup that reaches 400 mm, and it is easier to handle than a fixed-focal-length super-telephoto lens. It is an excellent choice for photographers who want to head out with a single lens and be ready for subjects both near and far.
The built-in optical Vibration Reduction system provides 5.0 stops of stabilization, helping reduce camera shake in low light or when photographing fast action. When the lens is mounted on a Nikon Z camera with Synchro VR, the stabilization benefit increases to 5.5 stops.
Nikon’s fast, quiet stepping motor also enables quick and accurate autofocus, even when subjects are moving rapidly.
With minimum focusing distances of 0.2 m at 28 mm and 1.2 m at 400 mm, this superzoom lens is also ideal for close-ups. Its maximum reproduction ratio is 0.35x, allowing photographers to capture detailed images of small subjects and reproduce them at nearly half their actual size.
Reliable sealing around the mount and all moving parts helps protect this lightweight superzoom lens from dust and moisture, making it a dependable choice for any trip or hike and for shooting in changing conditions.
Nikon’s quiet control ring can be customized, while a zoom lock keeps the lens from extending when it is not in use.
As of August 18, 2026, Nikon Netherlands lists the Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR at €1,549.00 and in stock; price and availability at the linked retailer may differ.
