Nikon Z 28-400mm F4-8 VR hands-on

The Nikkor Z 28-400mm F4-8 VR is the latest addition to Nikon’s range of lenses for the Z mount. It’s a superzoom lens designed for full-frame cameras that extends from the wide-angle well into the telephoto range.

Nikon describes it as offering the highest zoom ratio in its class (the likes of Tamron’s 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 means there are broader ranges available for APS-C), but we’re struggling to think of a full-frame lens that’s ever covered such a wide range. Let us know in the comments if you can think of one.
