Introducing the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR – a ground breaking NIKKOR Z lens with an approx. 14.2x zoom ratio, offering unmatched agility and precision for both photographers and videographers across a versatile 400mm focal length.
Weighing 48% less than its F mount counterpart at approximately 2385g, the lens allows for increased mobility when shooting, for users to do more with less gear. With the lens’ centre of gravity positioned close to the photographer, users are provided with better stability and comfortability when shooting handheld and smoother panning when shooting with a tripod or monopod.
With the impressive zoom ratio, a minimal focus distance of 0.2m (wide-angle) to 1.2m (telephoto), and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35x, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is perfect for dynamic scenes like festivals or sporting events.
Enjoy uninterrupted clarity with a Vibration Reduction effect of 5.0 stops, with razor-sharp focus for dynamic scenes. Elevate stability to 5.5 stops with Synchro VR for impeccable quality in any scenario. Plus, with the adoption of a stepping motor (STM), enjoy swift focus on moving subjects.
Equipped with built-in focus-breathing suppression for uninterrupted filming for seamless video.
Lightweight and portable, the lens lets you create your best stills and videos all day with ease. Its dust- and drip-resistant performance further ensures durability in any environment, while its unique design, featuring a zoom lock switch and control ring, provides comfortable usability.
Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimise coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the centre of the lens.
Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
Stepping Motor
NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.
