One lens, every adventure—wide, tele, and everything between.

When you want to travel light and still be ready for anything, this all-in-one Z-mount superzoom delivers. From 28mm street scenes and sweeping vistas to 400mm wildlife and candid portraits, it gives you confident reach without juggling lenses. It’s surprisingly light, steady in low light, and quick to focus—perfect for trips, hikes, theme parks, and everyday storytelling.

What you’ll notice in use

  • Huge 14.2× range: 28–400mm covers landscapes, portraits, sports sidelines, and distant details in a single lens. 

  • Steady handhelds: Built-in VR rated up to 5.0 stops helps keep shots sharp and video smooth. 

  • Pack-friendly build: About 725 g with a compact 84.5 × 141.5 mm design and a practical 77 mm filter thread. 

  • Close-up flexibility: Focus as near as 0.20 m at 28mm (1.2 m at 400mm) with up to 0.35× max reproduction for detail-rich frames. 

  • Quiet, confident AF: A stepping-motor, internal multi-focusing design locks on smoothly and silently—great for candid stills and clean audio in video. 

  • Real-world reliability: Weather-minded construction and an easy-clean front element, plus a customizable control ring for aperture, ISO, or exposure comp. 

Good to know

  • Optical design: 21 elements in 15 groups (4 ED, 3 aspherical); 9-blade rounded diaphragm. 

  • Angle of view: FX 75°–6°10′; DX 53°–4° (≈42–600mm equivalent field of view). 

  • In the box: HB-114 hood, LC-77B front cap, LF-N1 rear cap, CL-C2 soft case. 

Who it’s for

Travelers, families, hike-and-explore shooters, and anyone who wants one lightweight lens that handles wide to super-tele without the lens-swapping dance—for both photos and video.
