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

Nikon's do-everything travel superzoom, covering a 14.3x range in one lens — praised for its reach-to-size ratio and strong VR performance, with variable aperture and telephoto-end softness as the expected trade-offs versus a dedicated telephoto.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
