Is the nikon z 28 400mm f 4 8 vr good for sports?

The Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR is a good all-rounder for sport, but it's not a dedicated sports lens. It's stabilised and autofocuses, and its reach runs to 400mm on full frame, which covers most sideline and outdoor work. Its f/4-8 aperture is the catch: at the long end it's slow, so indoor or dim games will push your shutter speed and ISO.

Pair it with a fast-readout full-frame body. The Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8 both take this lens and are the sensible sports choices here. If you're shooting serious sport or birds, a fast telephoto prime like the Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the pro option, but it's a much bigger investment.

For the reasoning on focal lengths, see wildlife and sport.
