    • A single lens that covers wide-angle to telephoto, and produces great images.
This is a GREAT lens. It is a little on the slow side (f/4-8), but that is why it doesn’t cost thousands more. I wish it were an internal Zoom configuration, but again, the price is right! It delivers great images at either end of the zoom and throughout the middle as well. I have been shooting with it for months now and am very happy with it. It is my main travel lens. Yes, it is a bit clunky, but I like that I can replace a number of primes with a single lens. So, my overall burden of hauling camera lenses around is reduced. I am going to add a fast 35 mm lens for indoor shooting. With the new cameras, high iso’s are not as much of an issue as they used to be. And, many museums do not allow flash, so a fast 35 mm should round out my travel kit. If you are looking for a single lens that covers wide-angle to telephoto, this lens should fill the bill. And ist does it well. ... show more

    • My Go-To For Walking The Trails
Review Image by Ross B.
This lens is a game changer for me. It’s quick to focus, dead-on accurate, it’s got beatiful sharpness and bokeh, as well as color depth. The lens is definitely a bit heavier than most lenses but for what you’re getting, it’s a great piece of equipment. I wish the price was not as much but that’s photography equipment for you, so comparatively, and respectfully, the lens is a good value for the money and the performance speaks for itself. ... show more

    • Great lens for Z9
I love the focal length and quality of this lens on my Z9. It’s not an S series lens but the lens focus and clarity definitely meets my needs for wildlife photography. It’s a great travel lens as it is relatively light and keeps me from having to pack multiple lenses for the equivalent focal range. It’s now my go to lens for this camera! ... show more

    • My big guy…
I’m very happy with this lens. For such a huge zoom range, it is unbelievable sharp! Speed of the lens is no problem shooting outside. Surprisingly small and light for a 400mm. I’m glad to have this in my collection!

    • Great Nikon Zoom Lens
Great all around carry Z lens for my Nikon Z5ii camera. Especially nice for bird photos where the 400 mm comes in handy. Fast and accurate auto focus makes for some really sharp photos. A great value!

    • A Great Lens for Traveling
I got this lens for traveling because of its weight, telephoto zoom range, and its price. I was using a Nikon Z9 and traveling in Mexico and got some great daytime pictures of Birds in Flight diving in the shallows for fish. I also used it indoors in Japan for a Sumu Wrestling competition. I got some exceptional pictures using ambient light from about 30 yards away. It also worked extremely well for daylight landscape pictures. I highly recommend . It's extremely versatile and well built, ... show more

    • Best Telephoto Lens for the Nikon Z50.
First shots with this lens on my Z50 Nikon (with the smaller APS-C sensor instead of Full frame) indicate like WOW!!!!! Autofocus and Image Stabilization is fast. The lens is as easy to use and much sharper than the 50-250 DX Kit lens.The Z50 with this lens including a detachable wrist strap and lens cap comes in at 2.75 lbs (1.25KG) which is perfect for my worn out 70 y.o. hands. The F stops for full frame range 4 to 8. For the APS-C it read 5.6 - 8. The field of view at the 42mm is magnificently wide around 40 degrees I think, without distortion. At full extension (600mm) the field of view is about the size of two side by side light switch cover plates. Don't expect too much Bokeh however even at maximum aperture unless the foregrounds item is really close. Now doesn't get a lens like this for the Bokeh however! There is the next higher lens Z180-600 (effectively a 270-900 with the APS-C sensor) but the lens itself which doesn''t telescope out weighs 4.3 lbs (1.96kg) and will wear you out. The Teleconverters unfortunately don’t fit physically with this lens but with this lens you won’t need one. I will eventually get an additional Nikon body,, probably the full frame 24mp Z5ii, which will add about 195g to the weight. ... show more

    • It's a great walk around lens, but don't expect it to perform miracles on the long end.
I really do appreciate this lens fully. Having 28-400mm range should not be discounted by the budget roots of this lens. This lens is relatively light weight, feels good in the hand, and the zoom ring travel isn't overly large. The price is more than for for how much lens you will get too. If you are either weak in the arms, or possibly have some arm damage, this is a cool way to stay in the long game! I'd still consider a mono-pod for that group of folks as long as creativity isn't an issue. The only real downside is the slow F8 @ 400mm. You better go to shutter mode and turn that baby way up to 4000th or so, if your subject moves...and then hope you have enough light to grab a pic. My gut tells me Nikon did a good job hitting the sweet spot here, but my experience using this lens at the long end tells me I probably should have just loaded up the 180-600mm and hoofed that pig out. Now on the 28mm end, I have no complaints over any other standard zoom lens. ... show more
