“The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens is designed to provide the freedom to capture stunning landscapes, thrilling action, and intricate close-up shots with ease. Being incredibly portable with a built-in vibration reduction effect of up to 5.0 stops, this lens offers exceptional versatility making it the perfect lens for anyone on the go.” said John Young, General Manager of International Marketing, International Business Division of the Imaging Group, Nikon Singapore Pte. Ltd. 

Enjoy the convenience of shooting handheld with the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, Nikon’s latest super-telephoto high-magnification zoom lens that enables capturing a wide range of focal length, from 28mm wide angle to 400mm. Users can expect to explore the unreachable and capture the unseen, conquering distance, and empowering handheld photography, without any additional support.

Despite its impressive high magnification zoom, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR packs a punch with a remarkably compact and lightweight design. This translates to effortless handheld shooting, perfect for capturing fleeting moments on the go, whether you’re on the move or capturing thrilling moments at a theme park. Users can travel light and shoot steadily, as the compact lens slips easily into bags for convenient carrying. 

The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR boasts impressive versatility despite its super-telephoto zoom, making it a reliable lens that supports a wide range of situations. Get up close and personal with subjects thanks to its minimum focusing distance of 0.2m at the wide-angle² end, ideal for capturing intricate details, like your favourite food on a restaurant table. In addition, the 1.2m minimum focusing distance at the telephoto end extends to portraits at longer zoom settings, allowing you to achieve beautiful background blur for impactful compositions. 

In addition, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR lens boasts a built-in optical vibration reduction (VR) mechanism, effective for up to 5.0 stops³, ensuring sharp images in low-light conditions and when using super-telephoto zoom. This can be further enhanced to 5.5 stops with the Synchro VR⁴ feature, combining in-camera and lens VR for even steadier shots.

For fast-moving subjects, the lens uses a stepping motor (STM) for quick and precise autofocus. It is also dust and drip-resistant⁵, making it suitable for shooting in unpredictable weather.

Designed with video recording in mind, the lens minimises focus-breathing and offers linear manual focus for precise control during video shooting. 

The exterior design of the lens inherits the style of the 2nd-generation Z lenses, resulting in a professional and sleek appearance. It features a compact square lens hood, ensuring comfortable usability. When attached inverted, the hood provides excellent storage while maintaining good optical performance. Its distinct shape – with varying profiles on the top, bottom, and sides – allows users to quickly recognise the shooting orientation. Additionally, the ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended use.

Notably, the lens incorporates several practical features, such as Zoom Lock Switch, Focal Length Scale and Control Ring.
