Earlier this week, Nikon announced its new Nikkor Z 28-400mm F4-8 VR, a superzoom lens for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras with a 14.2x zoom range. Ahead of the launch, we had an opportunity to shoot a small sample gallery around Seattle’s Capitol Hill using a pre-production copy of the lens.
Due to the pre-production status of the lens, the photos in this gallery are out-of-camera JPEG images captured with a Nikon Z8 rather than converted Raw files, as is our normal protocol for lens galleries. We’ll publish additional photos from this lens, converted from Raw files, once we receive a production copy.
