Advanced Optical Design for Superior Image Quality
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8 E FL ED VR lens boasts a highly sophisticated optical design that ensures exceptional image quality. It features a combination of one aspherical extra-low dispersion (ED) element, three aspherical elements, two ED elements, and one high refractive index element. This meticulous arrangement effectively reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations, distortion, and coma across the zoom range, resulting in sharp, clear images with consistent edge-to-edge illumination. Whether capturing wide vistas or detailed architectural shots, this lens delivers remarkable clarity and colour accuracy.
Enhanced Coating Technology for Optimal Contrast
The lens incorporates Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings, which minimise surface and internal reflections, thereby reducing flare and ghosting. These advanced coatings ensure improved contrast and colour fidelity, even in challenging lighting conditions such as strong backlighting. This means you can rely on the lens to deliver vivid, high-contrast images with minimal distractions from unwanted reflections.
Vibration Reduction (VR) for Handheld Stability
With its built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) system, this lens compensates for camera shake by up to four shutter speed stops, enabling you to shoot handheld with greater confidence. This feature is particularly valuable in low-light situations or when using slower shutter speeds, helping to produce sharp, blur-free images even in challenging conditions. The VR system enhances your ability to capture stable, high-quality shots while on the move.
Fast and Silent Autofocus Performance
The lens is equipped with a Silent Wave Motor (SWM), providing quick, quiet, and precise autofocus. This makes it well-suited for both still photography and video recording, where silent operation is crucial. The autofocus system is complemented by full-time manual focus override, allowing you to make precise adjustments with ease. The internal focusing design ensures that the lens maintains its overall length during focus adjustments, contributing to faster focusing speeds and greater convenience.
Weather-Sealed Design for Reliability
The AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8 E FL ED VR lens is built to withstand the elements. It features a weather-sealed design with a rear rubber gasket and fluorine coatings on both the front and rear elements. This construction protects the lens from dust, moisture, and smudging, making it suitable for harsh environments and ensuring that it performs reliably in challenging weather conditions.

This versatility makes it a valuable addition to your camera kit, capable of handling a wide range of subjects and shooting styles.
