Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II – Professional Standard Zoom Lens

Lighter, Sharper, and Ready for Stills & Video

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is the second-generation standard zoom lens for Nikon Z-mount full-frame cameras, redesigned from the ground up to deliver professional performance in a lighter, more versatile package. Weighing just 675 g, it is now the lightest lens in its class and the first professional 24-70mm full-frame lens in the world with an internal zoom design.

Engineered for creators who demand reliability in the field, this lens offers superior balance, faster autofocus, and improved close-up performance, making it the ultimate workhorse for wedding, event, portrait, landscape, and video shooters.

Key Features at a Glance

• Internal Zoom Design – No external barrel extension; stable balance for handheld use and gimbals.

• Ultra-Fast Autofocus – Nikon’s new Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM) delivers AF that is 5× faster, 50% quieter, and tracks 60% more accurately while zooming.

• Next-Gen Optical Construction – 14 elements in 10 groups, including 2 ED and 3 aspherical elements, for exceptional sharpness across the frame.

• Advanced Lens Coatings – Nikon’s best Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings, plus Fluorine protection, to reduce ghosting, flare, and smudges.

• Beautiful Bokeh – A rounded 11-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural background blur.

• Closer Macro Performance – Shorter minimum focus distances and a 0.32× maximum magnification ratio make it ideal for detail shots.

• Pro-Grade Weather Sealing – Fully sealed against dust and moisture, with fewer moving parts exposed thanks to the internal zoom.

• Lighter & More Balanced – At just 675 g, it’s significantly lighter than its predecessor and more comfortable for extended shooting.

Built for Professionals

The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is designed to meet the needs of working professionals who require one lens that does it all. The constant f/2.8 aperture ensures excellent low-light performance and consistent exposure across the zoom range. Whether shooting stills or video, the internal zoom ensures stable centre of gravity, minimising the need for gimbal rebalancing and providing smoother operation in the field.

Optical Excellence

With Nikon’s advanced optical engineering, the lens delivers edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast, even in challenging lighting. Ghosting and flare are controlled by Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings, while Fluorine coating protects the front element from fingerprints and moisture.
