Nikon has just unveiled the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens. Compared to the previous generation, this new lens features internal zooming, faster autofocus, a new optical design, and is lighter, sharper, better balanced, and optimized for video. 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. It is expected to be available at the end of September 2025.

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 control 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.

RGBlink has unveiled a new generation of its 4K PTZ cameras!

The vue 4K PTZ model offers improved HDMI/RTSP output resolution up to 4K 30Hz, while the vue UHD PTZ version increases HDMI/RTSP output resolution to 4K 60Hz.
