Exceptional Optical Performance
Engineered for superb image quality, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens features an advanced optical design that incorporates a combination of cutting-edge glass elements. These include six Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements, one fluorite element, and one Short-Wavelength Refractive (SR) element. This precision-crafted lens reduces chromatic aberration and eliminates colour fringing, ensuring crisp, vibrant images throughout the zoom range. Whether you’re shooting wide-open at f/2.8 or stopping down, you’ll experience excellent sharpness and colour fidelity from edge to edge.
Anti-Reflective Coatings for Superior Contrast
The lens is coated with Nikon’s advanced ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats, which work together to significantly reduce flare, ghosting, and surface reflections. This means you can confidently shoot in challenging lighting conditions, such as harsh sunlight or strong backlighting, without losing detail or contrast. The Super Integrated Coating further enhances colour accuracy, ensuring that every image you capture is true to life, making this lens ideal for both portrait and event photography.
Advanced Vibration Reduction (VR) for Handheld Excellence
For handheld shooting, the built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) technology offers up to 5 stops of stabilization, reducing the effects of camera shake for sharper images, especially in low light. This feature is a game-changer when shooting on-the-go, whether you’re tracking fast-moving subjects or capturing action in dimly lit environments. VR ensures that your images remain pin-sharp, even at slower shutter speeds, giving you more flexibility and creative control.
Dual Stepping Motors for Fast and Quiet Autofocus
Equipped with a multi-focus system, the Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens employs two synchronized stepping motors that deliver lightning-fast, quiet, and precise autofocus. Whether you're photographing sports, wildlife, or capturing cinematic video, the autofocus system ensures smooth transitions with minimal focus breathing. Plus, with full-time manual focus override, you can always take control when you need to fine-tune focus for more creative shots.
Professional Features for the Modern Photographer
This lens goes beyond optics and autofocus with features designed for working professionals. The integrated OLED information panel allows you to quickly check aperture, focus distance, and depth of field settings directly on the lens, offering convenience in both bright sunlight and low-light shooting conditions. The lens also includes a programmable control ring that can be customized for functions like aperture control or exposure compensation, streamlining your workflow for faster, more intuitive shooting.
Durable and Weather-Sealed for Any Condition
Built for demanding environments, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens is fully sealed against dust and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor shoots in unpredictable weather.
