Japanese photography brand Nikon is rumored to be launching a new Nikkor Z 28-400mm f/3.5-6.3 zoom lens on March 26th or 27th, according to NikonRumors. This exciting addition to the Nikon Z lineup will provide impressive versatility in a surprisingly compact and lightweight design.

The lens is expected to be at a good balance of affordability and capability.

While exact specifications remain under wraps, one thing’s clear: this new lens won’t belong to Nikon’s high-performance S series. This suggests a price point balance between affordability and capability, making it a potential all-rounder for many photographers’ lens bags.

But what exactly is a telephoto lens? Unlike standard lenses, telephoto lenses use clever optics to magnify distant objects, bringing them closer in your frame. Imagine capturing stunning wildlife shots from afar, or zooming in for tight portrait compositions without needing to physically get closer to your subject. Telephoto lenses excel at these tasks, making them ideal for nature photography, sports photography, and portraiture.

Nikon already boasts a range of well-received zoom lenses, like the Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR. This new 28-400mm offering promises even more reach, allowing you to capture everything from wide landscapes to telephoto close-ups with a single lens. With more information expected to be revealed on March 26th or 27th, stay tuned as we provide coverage about the exciting new Nikkor Z lens and its potential to level up your photography.
