All-in-One Zoom Range

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR covers a 28 mm wide-angle through to a 400 mm telephoto focal length in a single lens. It is built for full-frame Z-mount mirrorless cameras and suits photographers who want to travel light without changing lenses.

5.5-Stop VR and STM Benefits

The built-in 5.5-stop vibration reduction steadies handheld shots at long focal lengths or in dim light. An STM stepping motor drives fast, quiet autofocus that works well for both stills and video recording. A zoom lock switch prevents the barrel from extending under its own weight.

Variable Aperture Constraints

The maximum aperture shifts from f/4 at 28 mm to f/8 at 400 mm, limiting low-light performance and shallow depth of field at the telephoto end. The minimum aperture reaches f/22 at wide angle and f/45 at telephoto. Weather sealing protects the 15-group, 21-element optical construction from dust and moisture.

Questions about this item

Will the zoom mechanism on the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR loosen over time and need adjustment?

A dedicated zoom lock switch at the 28 mm position prevents creep during transport, so the mechanism stays tight without periodic tightening.

What optical limit appears first when shooting at 400 mm in low light?

The maximum aperture narrows to f/8 at 400 mm, so depth of field and shutter speed become the limiting factors before diffraction at f/22-45.

How much heat does the VR system generate during all-day handheld video?

The 5.5-stop VR uses a stepping motor that runs cool; the weather-sealed barrel dissipates any warmth passively, so the lens stays comfortable in extended use.
