’m a real fan of superzoom lenses for walkabout and travel photography. They give me the ability to react to unfolding photo opportunities at the flick of a wrist, rather than swapping between lenses or carrying around more than I need. Superzoom lenses tend to compromise image quality in favour of a supersized zoom range – but there was actually little sacrifice when it came to 2020’s Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, which is a fine lens and very good value for an all-in-one zoom. This new Z 28-400mm doesn’t go as wide (and the difference is noticeable), but it doubles up on telephoto reach. And if you’re going to make a superzoom, then arguably the more ‘super’ the better. Why settle for the likes of a 24-120mm lens
