I received my preordered Nikon Z 400f4.5 a few weeks before my first-ever trip to Africa – a lifelong dream trip. I ordered this lens in the hopes of bringing it along as my main telephoto lens as it is smaller and lighter than my alternative. To be honest, I didn’t know exactly what to expect from this lens, mostly because I had no baseline knowledge of this lens attached to a Z7ii body. Every piece of information about this lens before its release had it attached to the Z9 which I do not own. This was an unknown lens+camera combo that I hoped could be my daily driver in Africa on Safari.
