Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S II
Nikon introduces a new second-generation S-Line zoom, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II lens. With Nikon’s best AF system to date, redesigned S-Line optics, stronger image stabilisation, improved ergonomics, and a lighter build, this upgraded f/2.8 professional medium-telephoto zoom lens gives photographers and video shooters the edge in more situations than ever before.
Weighing in at a class-leading 998g, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II offers a significant upgrade in terms of balance, agility, and stability. A full 362 g lighter than its predecessor, and 12 mm shorter, this new lens is more comfortable to handle when shooting handheld and video shooters using a Z camera on a gimbal will benefit from the balanced internal zoom, which keeps the centre of gravity consistent when changing focal lengths.
The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II also boasts up to 6 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction, which combines with the fast f/2.8 aperture to deliver every advantage in challenging conditions, and Synchro VR maximises stability at the centre and edges of the frame with compatible Z cameras.
Responsiveness gets a massive boost thanks to the speed and silence of the new AF system, which is equipped with Nikon’s Silky Swift voice coil motors: AF speed is up to 3.5x faster5 compared to the first generation of this lens, and 50% quieter, plus scan time at the telephoto end is reduced and focus tracking is more accurate when zooming. Precision has also improved significantly thanks to the all-new optical formula: with fewer elements used to greater effect, the streamlined optical design takes sharpness, bokeh, and anti-glare performance to new heights while also contributing to the overall reduction in lens weight.
Pro-grade weather sealing protects the lens, and ergonomic improvements include a removable tripod collar, an ARCA-SWISS tripod foot, and a de-clickable control ring.
