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

Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II – The Next Standard in Pro Zooms

Nikon has redefined the professional workhorse lens with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, the latest evolution of one of the most relied-on focal lengths in photography. Lighter, faster, and smarter than its predecessor, this second-generation lens is the world’s first 24-70mm f/2.8 to feature an internal zoom design—a game-changer for both photographers and filmmakers.

Revolutionary Internal Zoom Design
Unlike traditional 24-70mm lenses, this version maintains its overall length while zooming, delivering multiple benefits:

• Lighter & More Compact – 16% lighter and half an inch shorter than the previous model.
• Stronger Protection – Enhanced dust- and moisture-resistance with fewer moving external parts.
• Perfect for Video – 30% less shift in center of gravity for smooth balance on gimbals and rigs.
• Matched Trio – Completes Nikon’s pro “Trinity” of internal zoom S-line lenses (14-24mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm).

Enhanced Optical Performance
The new optical design improves sharpness and clarity while reducing the number of elements for a more efficient build.

• ED & Aspherical Elements – Suppress color fringing and aberrations for precise rendering.
• Improved Flare Resistance – Stronger contrast and clarity in bright or backlit scenes.
• Beautiful Bokeh – 11 rounded diaphragm blades and refined aspherical manufacturing for smooth, natural background separation.
• Closer Focusing – Focus as close as 9.4" (24mm) or 1.1' (70mm) with 0.32x magnification.

Advanced Coating Technology
Nikon applies its most powerful anti-reflective coatings for crystal-clear results in challenging light:

• Meso Amorphous Coat – Best-in-class performance against diagonal light.
• ARNEO & Nano Crystal Coats – Suppress flare and ghosting from multiple angles for vibrant color and contrast.

Next-Gen Autofocus: Silky Swift VCM
Making its debut in a zoom lens, Nikon’s Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (VCM) delivers autofocus that is:

• 5x Faster – Drastically reduced scan times with smoother performance.
• Highly Accurate – Stronger subject tracking, even while zooming.
• Quieter Operation – Nearly silent focusing—ideal for video work.
• Minimal Focus Breathing – Maintains consistent composition during focus pulls.
