Nikon has just officially announced the new Nikkor Z 28-400mm F4-8 VR lens. It is a high-magnification zoom lens that covers a broad range of focal lengths, from 28mm to 400mm. Users will appreciate the versatility and powerful capabilities of the 14.2× zoom. Although it is a super-telephoto zoom lens with a range up to 400mm, it weighs just 725g (1.6 pounds), making it easy to carry when traveling. The lens has a close minimum focus distance of only 0.2m (7.8 in) at the maximum wide-angle position and 1.2m (3.9 ft) at the maximum telephoto position.
This new lens costs $1,296.95, first available for pre-order at B&H/ Adorama.
