It is the world's first FX-format lens with a 24-70 mm range and internal zoom. Weighing only 675 g, it is also the lightest in its class.
The new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II has been developed to give photographers and videographers more options in the field. It is easier to handle and more durable than its predecessor. The internal zoom ensures that the lens's center of gravity does not change when zooming. This allows photographers to zoom smoothly from the hand without having to change their grip, and videographers do not have to rebalance the gimbal. With fewer moving parts, the lens is also better protected against the elements – at a professional level.
Users will also appreciate the new combined focusing system and Nikon's next-generation optics. This lens is the first Z-series zoom lens to feature Nikon's Silky Swift stepping motor. The result is 5× faster autofocus, 50% quieter operation, and 60% faster subject tracking when zooming.
an 11-blade diaphragm with a circular aperture creates a more natural and circular bokeh, while Nikon's highest-quality Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO anti-reflective coatings suppress reflections and ghosting for worry-free shooting in harsh lighting conditions.
The lens's performance when shooting close-up subjects has been significantly improved: thanks to the reduced minimum focus distance, users of the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens can get closer to their subjects, and the maximum image magnification has been increased, all while maintaining a constant lens barrel length.
