Nikon, the world-renowned camera and lens manufacturer, recently announced a new addition to their range of lenses. Aimed at photographers seeking convenience without compromising on quality, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR full frame superzoom could be the ideal solution.

“A superzoom lens is like a Swiss Army knife for photographers.”
The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm is Nikon’s latest offering in the superzoom category. With its variable aperture of f/4-8 and a full-frame design, this lens is ideal for photographers who frequently switch between different kinds of shots.
- Focal length: 28-400mm
- Maximum aperture: f/4-8
- Minimum focus distance: 7.8 inches (at 28mm) and 3.9 feet (at 400mm)

The lens also boasts a quick and silent STM motor for autofocus, making it suitable for both still photography and videography. The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm is expected to retail at $1,299.95 and will be available in stores from mid-April.
Some photographers have expressed excitement about the lens’s extensive zoom range. However, others have raised concerns about the variable aperture, which reaches f/8 at the telephoto end.
