Nikon z 28 400mm f 4 8 vr vs nikon z 100 400mm f 4 5 5 6 vr s?

For reach, I'd pick the Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S. On full frame it runs 100-400mm, and on APS-C it frames like 150-600mm, which matters most for birds and sport. Both lenses are stabilised and autofocus, and both fit the same Nikon Z bodies.

If you want one lens for everyday travel, the Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR covers wide views through long telephoto, but it gives up some reach at the long end. For a sense of how focal length should drive the choice, see Wildlife and sport. Long lenses also hold their value, so buying used can save a lot.
