Nikon z 28 400mm f 4 8 vr vs tamron 50 400mm f 4 5 6 3?

Both lenses reach 400mm on full frame, so the choice comes down to how wide you need to go and how much light you need at the long end. For everyday use on a Nikon Z body, I'd pick the Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR. It starts at 28mm for landscapes and street, it's stabilised, and it fits every full-frame Z body on its page. It does get darker as you zoom.

The Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 gives up the 28-50mm range for a slightly brighter long end. I don't have a list of camera mounts for it, so check that page before you buy.

If your subject is mostly sport or birds, read the reach guide first.
