Nikon Z 24-70mm F2.8 S II

Product Description

The essential pro zoom lens, redefined.
More versatile and stable with the world's first internal zoom in this class*. Faster and quieter with Nikon's best AF system to date. Smaller, lighter and more durable—all with a new optical formula that takes sharpness, bokeh and anti-glare performance to thrilling new levels.

World’s first full-frame 24-70mm f/2.8 with internal zoom*.
Take advantage of the entire focal length range of the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II without any change to the lens length or center of gravity—zoom lens versatility with prime lens handling.

Ideal for gimbals and matte boxes.
When your camera is rigged up, you can quickly reframe your shot without having to rebalance a gimbal, reposition a matte box or move around other accessories.

Better protection against dust and moisture.
With no extending or retracting parts, dust and moisture have less chance of entering the sealed lens, and the barrel is stronger and lighter.1

Nikon’s best AF system to date.

5x faster focusing*.
Silky Swift Voice Coil Motors (SSVCM) and a high-performance AF actuator boost the speed of the multi-focus system beyond any NIKKOR lens yet.

50% quieter and smoother.
Autofocus vibrations have been all but eliminated, ensuring camera noise never disturbs special moments or ruins important video takes.

Enhanced tracking while zooming.
Focus tracking performance during zooming is enhanced by approx. 60%*, making it easier to keep your subject in focus while quickly zooming in or out.

Smooth focus transitions during push-ins.
Focus breathing has been suppressed to staggering new levels—less than half the amount of the previous generation 24-70mm f/2.8 lens—and the fast, silent AF system tracks subjects without jitter during push-ins. "*Best AF performance is achieved when used on a camera equipped with an EXPEED 7 image processor. Measured in accordance with Nikon standards."

World’s lightest full-frame 24-70mm f/2.8*.
A full 15% (130g) lighter than its predecessor and more nimble than any other lens in its class at just 675g. Whether you're shooting with your camera rigged up, on a gimbal or handheld, you'll enjoy all-day comfort and agile handling.

Custom control ring with optional click.
For precise, incremental adjustments—like selecting a specific ISO setting—clicking2 tells you how many steps you've adjusted. For seamless adjustments to things like power aperture or Hi-Res Zoom, you can turn clicking off.

Close focus distance. High magnification.
Focus as close as 24.13cm at 24mm, or magnify subjects up to 0.32x at 70mm. Since the lens doesn't get longer as you zoom, you won't risk accidentally bumping into close foreground elements.

Image quality that rivals prime lenses.

The superior sharpness of a Z mount lens.
Nikon's groundbreaking large mount delivers ample light across the frame for edge-to-edge sharpness and clear description at every focal length, even when shot wide open.

Beautiful bokeh and natural gradation.
The combination of a constant f/2.8 aperture and 11 rounded diaphragm blades produces soft, round bokeh with natural gradation that gives your subject an almost 3D quality.

Clarity in all conditions.
Shoot toward light without worrying about flare or ghosting, thanks to Nikon's proprietary Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO coating.

Virtually flawless rendering.
Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and Aspherical ED glass elements keep resolution high while suppressing undesirable fringing, distortion and false color.

The S-Line difference.
The S-Line designation is reserved for premium NIKKOR Z lenses. As an S-Line product, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II features Nikon's best optics, most advanced coatings, cutting-edge technology and premium build.

Primary features
• The multi-focusing system⁴ , incorporating Silky Swift VCM (SSVCM) technology for the first time in a zoom lens, achieves the fastest⁵ autofocusing in Nikon history, delivering extremely precise and quiet AF for both still image and video recording.

• A compact design with the lightest weight (approx. 675g) in its class6 and a 77mm filter attachment size makes it easy to carry and reduces fatigue when shooting handheld.

• The first lens in its category⁶ to feature an internal zoom mechanism that prevents dust and debris from entering the lens during zooming, providing superior dust- and drip-resistant performance⁷. Even when zooming, it maintains its balance for flexible use of a variety of video accessories.

• A newly developed 11-blade diaphragm enables very circular bokeh.

• Optimized for video recording with a design that suppresses focus breathing.

• Equipped with a control ring clicking switch, allowing the tactile “click” of control ring operation to be turned on or off as needed.

• The lens supports a minimum focus distance of 0.24 m at the wide-angle end and 0.33 m at the telephoto end, with a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.21× at the wide-angle end and 0.32× at the telephoto end, allowing users to get closer to their subjects for dynamic expression.

• Includes Meso Amorphous Coat, which offers the best anti-reflection performance in Nikon history, and ARNEO Coat for effective suppression of ghosting and flare, resulting in clear images.

• The lens hood features a filter adjustment window, enabling users to adjust circular polarizing and variable ND filters without removing the lens hood.
