The Nikkor Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is an all-in-one superzoom designed for a broad range of focal lengths. From 28mm to 400mm, landscapes to distant vistas, up close or far away, the extreme versatility and powerful capabilities of the 14.2× zoom will have you capturing more shots from right where you are. Despite being a super-telephoto zoom lens with a range of up to 400mm, the Nikkor Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is the lightest in its class, weighing just about 725 g (1.6 lbs), making it an excellent travel lens.
Being a superbly versatile lens, it's no surprise that the Nikkor Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR has a remarkably close minimum focus distance of 20 cm (7.8 in) at the maximum wide-angle position and 1.2 m (3.9 ft) at the maximum telephoto position. The maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35x lets you capture close-ups at short distances for food, flowers and animals, while shooting far away, you can fill the frame with your subject and still have a pleasing blurred background.
The Nikkor Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR utilizes a stepping motor (STM), which enables fast and quiet autofocusing, allowing immediate focus on moving subjects. The lens also features a vibration-reduction (VR) function with a performance equivalent to 5.0 stops, which helps achieve sharp photos and stable video with ease, even when handheld.
