NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR

I bought this lens after my shoulder surgery so I needed a light lens with telephoto reach for birds and wildlife. Very pleased with the sharpness, better than expected. I used it with my Nikon FZc as well as Z6II. Amazing results with Nikon Fzc as you are getting dx crop resulting in 42-600mm lens, excellent sharpness. I print with Epson P800 so up to 17 x 22 inch paper, so this is how I test sharpness. Highly recommend this lens.

5 stars for the versatility and image quality in a more travel friendly all around lens. The narrow aperture is a given disadvantage but wow, can it really deliver. Ran a Z9 with the 180-600 and this on a Zf for a lighter second body/shooter setup. Images are more than acceptable and the speed and such is quite impressive for the price and "mid range" build of this lens. Really happy with it and it's a great all arounder for traveling light.

Looking for a good versatile travel lens and knowing I had 1 week to get a full refund on my purchase, I set out to test this lens outdoors attached to my Z8. Conclusion - I'm keeping this one. Things I love are the lightweight, great range at both ends, fast AF and the price. I was worried about the f/8 beyond 200mm and although I didn't get the nice blurred backgrounds, my auto ISO compensated for lower light conditions just fine. I've attached a photo of an osprey nest that was about 75' from the walking path. This photo did have noise reduction using LRC but very little editing. It was also heavily cropped to fill the frame. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Love the new NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, very light and compact. Although the f/4-8 is a bit much I still like the results, I usaualy shoot "M" Manual but with this lens I shoot using "S" Shutter-priority where I select the speed of the camera shutter and let the camera select the "A" Aperture and it has worked very well for me. Overall I love the lens.

Was also looking to purchase a 2x teleconvertor only to find ot that there is not one compatable.

purchased this lens for my wife who already had a 18-400 lens from a different company, she is a point and shoot type of photographer . she loves how much quicker the focus is between subjects is compared to the other lens and the combined weight as we could eliminate the FTZ as well.
A great all round lens, which could attact a lot more lady's in to the world of photography.
