Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II Lens

Redefining the Standard Zoom

The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II builds on Nikon’s iconic workhorse lens, delivering a lighter, sharper, and more refined design for professionals. As the world’s first 24-70mm f/2.8 with an internal zoom, it maintains a constant length during use, improving balance, weather resistance, and gimbal performance. This updated design is 16% lighter and shorter than its predecessor, making it more comfortable for long shoots without compromising durability.

Optics and Autofocus Excellence

Featuring an upgraded optical formula with extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements, the lens achieves higher resolution, reduced aberrations, and enhanced flare resistance. An 11-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh, while the shorter minimum focusing distance adds versatility for close-up work. Nikon’s advanced Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings further suppress reflections for crisp, high-contrast images. The new Silky Swift VCM autofocus system debuts here, offering speeds up to five times faster, quieter performance, and improved tracking accuracy with minimal focus breathing—ideal for both stills and video.

Professional Control and Durability

Weighing just 1.5 lb, the lens features a rugged, weather-sealed build with a consistent 5.9-inch length and a smaller 77mm filter thread. Handling is enhanced with dedicated zoom and focus rings, a customizable Control Ring with click on/off functionality, and dual L-Fn buttons for quick access to shooting functions. The included HB-117 hood even features a filter adjustment window for easier use with variable ND and polarizers. Combining portability, precision, and reliability, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II sets a new benchmark for professional standard zoom lenses.
