Nikon kündigt das Z 28-400mm F4-8 VR an, ein Superzoom-Objektiv für Z-Bajonett
Nikon hat das Z 28-400mm F4-8 VR angekündigt, ein Superzoom-Objektiv mit einem 14,2-fachen Zoombereich für Nikon Z-Mount Kameras. Laut Nikon wurde das Objektiv entwickelt, um den Bedürfnissen von Foto- und Videoanwendern gerecht zu werden.
Das 28-400mm F4-8 besteht aus 21 Linsenelementen in 15 Gruppen, darunter drei asphärische und vier ED-Linsenelemente, mit neun Blendenlamellen. Es hat eine Nahdistanz von 0,2m bei 28mm und 1,2m bei 400mm sowie ein maximales Abbildungsmaß von 0,35x bei 28mm.
Zudem verfügt das Objektiv über Nikons Vibrationsreduzierung (VR) Technologie, die gemäß CIPA-Standard eine Bildstabilisierung um 5,0 Blendenstufen bei 400mm ermöglicht. In Kombination mit Kameras mit Sensorstabilisierung beträgt die Stabilisierung durch Nikons Synchro VR Technologie bis zu 5,5 Blendenstufen.
Der Autofokus erfolgt über einen Schrittmotor für schnelles und leises Scharfstellen. Die manuelle Fokussierung unterstützt eine lineare Fokusreaktion, was besonders Videoanwendern zugutekommen dürfte.
Das 725 Gramm schwere Objektiv hat einen Durchmesser von 85mm und eine Länge von 142mm (eingefahren). Es verwendet ein 77mm Filtergewinde. Nikon beschreibt es als staub- und tropfwassergeschützt.

The All-In-One Lens that Goes the Distance: Nikon Releases the Nikkor Z 28-400mm F/4-8 VR Full-Frame Super Zoom
Versatility and Portability with Wide-Angle to Super-Telephoto Coverage
MELVILLE, NY (March 27, 2024) Today Nikon Inc. announced the release of the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, a supremely versatile high-power super-zoom lens for Nikon Z series full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras. This latest addition to the expanding line of NIKKOR Z lenses offers the highest zoom ratio in its class*1, making it a must-have for travel, sports, backyard wildlife and more.
“So many photographers and creatives will love the versatility of the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm, which gives you clarity, range and fantastic backgrounds,” said Naoki Onozato, President and CEO, Nikon Inc. „Wherever your travels lead, this is definitely a lens to consider packing.”
The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is a high-magnification zoom lens that covers a broad range of focal lengths — from 28mm to 400mm. Whether up close or far away, from landscapes to distant vistas, users will appreciate the extreme versatility and powerful capabilities of the 14.2× zoom. Although it is a super-telephoto zoom lens with a range up to 400mm, it’s also the lightest in its class*1, weighing only approximately 1.6 lbs (725 g), making it easy to carry when traveling.
This new lens also has a remarkably close minimum focus distance*2 of only 7.8 in. (0.2 m) at the maximum wide-angle position and 3.9 ft. (1.2 m) at the maximum telephoto position. The maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35x lets users capture close-ups at short distances for food, flowers and animals. When shooting far away, users can fill the frame with their subject and still have a pleasing blurred background.
The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR uses a stepping motor (STM), which enables fast and quiet autofocusing, allowing rapid focus on moving subjects. The lens also features a vibration-reduction (VR) function with performance equivalent to 5.0 stops, which helps achieve sharp photos and stable video with ease, even when handheld.*3
Primary features of the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR
- Covers a broad range of focal lengths— from 28mm to 400mm, with a 14.2× zoom which is a first among NIKKOR Z lenses.
- A minimum focus distance of 0.2 m at the maximum wide-angle position and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35× allow users to get closer to their subjects for dynamic expression.
- A total length of approx. 5.57 in. (141.5 mm) and a weight of approx. 1.6lbs (725g)– the lightest lens in its class– make this an easy lens to carry and shoot hand-held.
- Stable VR performance equivalent to a 5.0-stop increase in shutter speed effectively reduces blurring in dimly lit surroundings and with hand-held shooting. When paired with a compatible camera, Synchro VR can be activated to achieve up to 5.5-stop stabilization*4 by combining in-camera VR and lens VR.
- Stepping motor (STM) enables high-speed AF drive.
- Support for linear MF drive enables smooth focusing, which is especially useful for video shooting.
- Comes with a compact, square lens hood that combines superior performance and usability.
- Designed to be dust- and drip-resistant with thorough sealing on various portions including movable parts of the lens barrel to keep dust and water droplets from entering the lens.*5
