Im loving the 28-400, I even decided to shoot some motorsports with it during car week and during the day time theres absolutely zero reason this lense cant keep up with more specific lenses catered to specific ranges. The flexibility of this lense to go from walking around the pits of the track too shooting on the track the reach is fabulous. The vignetting can be a bit much during the day at the longer ends of the lense but it adds character!
I'm glad you are enjoying this lens too! I enjoy using my 28-400mm shooting soccer at the local college. I am faster and move quicker than the other shooters with big glass on monopods and can cover the whole field easily. I think my shots are as good as and you can't beat the convenience.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying the lens too and find the that I need the extra width at times as well. I'm thinking of adding the Nikkor Z14-24, F4 S to my kit for those epic images. I had toyed with getting the F2.8, but for the extra cost I can use one of my legacy lens for a bokeh.
Hey Oregon, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, do you love to have a logo for your channel's branding to have a memorable graphic based monogram logo to help your audience recognise and follow your channel easier? I would love to design a photography themed logo inspired by your direction for you! Let me know if you interested to make it happen! :-)
Great photos at the end. The one of the squirrel is my favorite!
Thanks! Yep, Bruno is a tuff character that really was not happy we were there, or maybe he wanted compensation for posing!

Thank you so much for this review.
I'll keep following, because you give such useful information.
All the best!
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
I have Nikon Z5 and 24-200mm. I am thinking of upgrading to 28-400mm for nature photography
The 28-400 is a great lens! Mine lives on my Z5. Enjoy.
Great report! My only holdback about this lens is it does not start at 24mm like my 24-200. I really appreciate the extra width when bopping around.

It's soft.

Thank you for the offer, we just started and may do this in the future. We'll keep you in mind.
It shoots everything but nothing will be particularly stunning. Images always end up looking too flat and lifeless just like the 24-200
I'm sorry you are having that result. I have been happy with this lens and it lives on my Z5. Don't give up, keep shooting!
Perhaps its you that is too flat and lifeless!!
YOu spent most of video talking about your first video, Reboxing LOL
