Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II

Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f2.8 S II

The best full-frame Zoom lens in its class with 24 - 70 mm f/2.8

The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is a technical masterpiece and the first professional lens in its focal length class with an internal Zoom - and at the same time the lightest. *1 Weighing just 675g, this highly versatile lens is stable in the hand and easier to use as it does not extend or retract when changing the focal length.

Internal Zoom

The lens barrel does not extend and retract. The center of gravity remains constant and the shots remain precise.

Improvements for videos

Thanks to the internal Zoom, the lens does not have to be rebalanced when using
a gimbal, and heavy accessories are easier to handle. Focus breathing is also reduced for more natural transitions.

Focus limiter

Limits the focus range to 0.33 m over the entire Zoom range for a constant working distance at all focal lengths.

In any location

The robust weather sealing keeps out dust, dirt and moisture. *2

Versatile, stable, robust

The internal Zoom beautifully maximizes the versatility of this 24-70mm lens. The weather sealing is robust, and there are fewer moving parts exposed to the elements: no worries about gear, no matter where. Plus, there's no weight shift: you can zoom without having to reach around. The lens barrel does not extend and therefore does not interfere with close-up shots.

New S-line optics

The new optical design uses fewer lenses, but with greater impact - with aspherical lenses on both sides and ED glass. Outstanding image quality and less weight.

Adapted coatings

Thanks to the anti-reflective meso-amorphous, ARNEO and adapted super-integrated coatings in several layers, you can take photos without glare spots or ghost images in the light.

Multi-Focusing System

Multiple lens groups move in perfect synchronization for high-precision autofocus and maximum optical performance.

SSVCM

The first Zoom lens from Nikon with the Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM). Stunningly fast and precise AF performance.

5 x faster AF performance

You don't need a second chance as fast as this autofocus is.3

40% reduction in scan time in the telephoto range

Excellent for fast action shots.

50% quieter -

than the previous model, even at the fastest AF speed.

60% Faster focus tracking at Zoom

Keeps subjects in focus even when the focal length changes.

Softer, better defined bokeh

The new optics rely on precisely manufactured aspherical lenses - they shape the light as beautifully as possible. The bokeh in the background and foreground is clearly defined and so smoothly graduated that it looks as if it was photographed with a fast fixed focal length lens.

Aperture with 11 rounded blades

A new aperture with 11 blades ensures a rounder bokeh. At the same time, the new optical design of the S-Line guarantees that point light sources such as stars and city lights are reproduced sharply and clearly. Thanks to the consistently high lens speed of 1:2.8 and the impressive close focus capability of this professional lens, you can take cinematic close-ups - in any light and in any situation. Or fascinating night photos and landscapes in low light.

It's not a macro - but almost

With an impressively short focusing distance of just 24 cm (at a focal length of 24 mm) to 33 cm (at 70 mm), you can get very close to your subject. The maximum magnification is 0.21x at 24 mm and 0.32x at 70 mm.
