Compare to 24-70 f/2.8 S

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 9.4 inches 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.

Smart, Agile Handling

Focus Limit Switch

Activate to ignore foreground elements and enhance the speed and accuracy of Focus within the desired Range.

Silky Swift VCM

The Silky Swift VCM is utilized for NIKKOR Z Lenses as an AF drive motor.

This System simultaneously achieves higher speed, higher accuracy and Quieter Operation.

Each of these factors far surpasses conventional Systems, and as for the “Quietness” specifically, drive sound is intensively suppressed to an almost-silent level.

Even heavy Lenses can be controlled accurately at high speed, with minimal noise or vibration, enabling users to reliably capture sharply Focused Images.

Extremely quiet AF operation is specifically advantageous for shooting in places where silence is required and for video recording.
