Built for professionals.
From its weight and balance to the position of key controls and extensive weather sealing, every aspect of the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II's design has been developed and refined to meet the needs of working professionals.
Lightest in its class.
A difference you'll feel every time you pick it up. Easier to carry and less tiring to use, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is the lightest lens in its class and a full 26% lighter than its predecessor, thanks to thinner lens elements and a reduction in the total number of elements in the optical design. When carried along with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, you'll benefit from a combined weight savings of 1.1 lbs (492 g) compared to the previous generation.
Breakthrough AF performance.
Featuring the same powerful multi-focus system with Silky Swift Voice Coil Motors (SSVCM) as our professional sports telephoto lenses and a new high-precision optical encoder, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II redefines AF performance in its class.
Compared to the previous generation:
3.5X faster
17.5X more precise
40% better focus tracking while zooming
Silent autofocus.
The powerful SSVCM focus motors operate silently, so there's no risk of affecting in-camera audio recording.
From its beautifully-balanced handling and customizable controls to silent focus and an optical design that practically eliminates focus breathing, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is ideally suited to mixed video and stills capture.
