Superior portability and wide-angle to super-telephoto protection for all kinds of capturing conditions
TOKYO – Nikon Company (Nikon) is happy to announce the discharge of the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR, a high-magnification zoom lens suitable with full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted.
The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is a high-magnification zoom lens that covers a broad vary of focal lengths — from 28 mm to 400 mm, a primary amongst NIKKOR Z lenses. It realizes highly effective imaging expression by capturing the best particulars or facial expressions of distant topics with approx. 14.2x zoom, the very best in its class*1 zoom ratio. Even in conditions the place the space to the topic constantly modifications, equivalent to with sporting occasions, amusement park sights and parade reveals, customers can take pleasure in capturing in quite a lot of conditions with simply this one lens. As well as, with the minimal focus distance*2 of 0.2 m on the most wide-angle place and 1.2 m on the most telephoto place, this lens can also be appropriate for capturing close-ups and tabletop images at brief distances. With a most replica ratio of 0.35x, it’s attainable to seize topics in a bigger measurement, permitting for delicate depiction, equivalent to with vegetation. Whereas within the telephoto vary, photographs through which the background bokeh might be expressed by getting nearer to topics. Though it’s a super-telephoto with a spread as much as 400 mm, the compact and light-weight design offers it a weight of solely approx. 725 g, the lightest in its class*1, making it simple to hold round not solely whereas touring, however for on a regular basis use as properly.
The NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR additionally adopts a stepping motor (STM) which permits quick autofocus drive, permitting fast concentrate on shifting topics, and a vibration-reduction operate with efficiency equal to a 5.0-stop*3 enhance in shutter velocity that may be very efficient for hand-held capturing. Moreover, the NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR helps linear MF operation*4 to facilitate specializing in the supposed topic throughout video recording.
Nikon will proceed to pursue a brand new dimension in optical efficiency whereas assembly customers’ wants, contributing to the event of imaging tradition, with the hope of increasing prospects for imaging expression.
- *1Amongst lenses with a zoom ratio of 10x or over for full-frame/FX-format interchangeable-lens mirrorless cameras, introduced as of March 27, 2024.
- *2 When capturing close-ups with the lens hood connected, take care that the lens hood doesn’t come into contact with the topic.
- *3 Measured in accordance with CIPA requirements with VR operate set to “NORMAL”, and zoom on the most telephoto place.
- *4A operate that shifts focus by a set quantity based on the angle of management ring rotation, not the velocity at which it’s rotated, with guide focusing.
