Nikon has a long history of making zooms with long focal lengths and large zoom ratios right from the 1980s. Later in the digital era, it introduced its first and highly successful ‘carry only one’ lens, the DX 18-200 mm in F mount. That trend continued with Nikon introducing the 24-200 mm lens, its first super-zoom, all-in-one type lens with the Z mount. Not to rest on its laurels, Nikon has now released the 28-400 mm ‘hyper-zoom’ with a mindboggling zoom ratio of greater than 14 which is by far the largest for full-frame cameras from any manufacturer.

Design & Build Quality 

The lens feels solid in hand with an excellent finish though it is not a part of the premium ‘S Series.’ The lens is compact, just 142 mm long but that is when it is at 28 mm. It extends as you zoom in and at 400 mm focal length, it has a length close to around 240 mm. The large extension is achieved due to its concentric triple-barrel construction. These barrels have a perfect fit, move smoothly and there is no wobbling anywhere. This fit also prevents the ingress of dust and moisture. The lens is mostly made of polycarbonate. However, the bayonet lens mount is made with a hardened aluminum alloy.
