The new standard in pro zooms

The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II takes Nikon’s most versatile professional zoom and makes it even better. Lighter, faster and more durable, it’s built for photographers who need to cover everything from landscapes and portraits to events and commercial work. Thanks to its world-first internal zoom design, the lens doesn’t change length when zooming or focusing, improving balance, sealing and reliability in the field.

Internal zoom advantage

By keeping the barrel a consistent length, the lens feels more stable, saves 16% in weight compared to the previous model, and resists dust and moisture more effectively. Video shooters will appreciate the reduced shift in balance when mounted on a gimbal, along with minimal focus breathing for smooth, natural focus pulls.

S-Line optical excellence

The updated optical design delivers outstanding sharpness and contrast across the frame. Two ED and three aspherical elements work together to control chromatic aberration and distortion, while Nikon’s latest Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings virtually eliminate flare and ghosting, even when shooting into strong light. The rounded 11-blade diaphragm ensures smooth, creamy background blur with beautiful subject separation.

Next-generation autofocus

Debuting in a zoom lens, Nikon’s Silky Swift VCM system uses magnets instead of gears for lightning-fast, precise, and near-silent focusing. It’s up to five times quicker than its predecessor, with improved subject tracking while zooming and quieter operation that’s perfect for video. Full-time manual override is available whenever you need it.

Built for professionals

Weighing just 1.5 lb, this version is lighter but tougher, with advanced sealing against dust and moisture. Controls are designed for efficiency: dedicated zoom and focus rings, a customisable Control Ring with click/de-click option, two programmable L-Fn buttons, and a focus limiter switch. The supplied HB-117 hood even includes a filter adjustment window for easy use of polarising or variable ND filters.
