Nikon Z 24-70mm 2.8 S II

INTRODUCING THE NEXT-GENERATION NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II
Today, we are pleased to introduce the second generation of our professional full-frame lens, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II. This high-performance zoom lens has been completely redesigned, featuring an internal zoom, faster autofocus, and a new optical construction. It is now lighter, sharper, perfectly balanced, and even better suited for video.

It is the world's first professional 24-70mm full-frame lens with an internal zoom, weighing just 675 grams, making it the lightest lens in its class.1

The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is designed to better handle challenging shooting situations. Compared to its acclaimed predecessor, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, it is even easier to use and more robust.

Nikon's Multi-Focusing System and new, next-generation optical construction offer tremendous benefits for photographers and videographers. It's the first Z-series zoom lens equipped with Nikon's Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor: AF performance is 5x faster2 and 50% quieter, and focusing is 60% faster when zooming. The new S-line optical design utilizes the highest levels of precision per element to achieve perfect correction with fewer lens elements.

A rounded 11-blade diaphragm creates exceptionally round bokeh. Nikon's high-performance Meso-Amorphous Coating and ARNEO Coating reduce ghosting and flare, allowing for trouble-free shooting or videography even in challenging lighting conditions. Consistent use of the Multi-Focusing system has significantly improved close-up performance: The new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lets you get closer to your subject thanks to shorter minimum focusing distances, an improved maximum magnification, and the advantage of a non-extending lens barrel.
Key Features: NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II

•Best-in-class: The world's first professional 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with internal zoom and, at 675 grams, the lightest in its class.1
•Internal zoom: The lens barrel does not extend and retract. The center of gravity remains constant, and shots remain precise.
•Video Improvements: The internal zoom eliminates the need to rebalance the lens when using a gimbal, and heavy accessories are easier to handle. Focus breathing is also reduced for more natural transitions.
•The fastest autofocus yet: The first zoom lens with a multi-focusing system and Nikon's Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM). For faster, quieter, and more precise performance across the entire zoom range.
•Next-generation S-Line optics: Maximum image quality and a lighter lens. Featuring double-sided aspherical lenses and ED glass, as well as Meso-Amorphous and ARNEO coatings to combat ghosting and flare.
•Softer, rounder bokeh: The rounded 11-blade aperture and advanced optics create a more circular bokeh that is clearly defined and smoothly graduated.
•Extremely short focusing distance: just 0.24 m at 24 mm and 0.33 m at 70 mm. Maximum magnification is 0.21x at 24 mm and 0.32x at 70 mm.
•Control ring with switchable click: "On" for tactile feedback during incremental adjustments. "Off" for smooth, silent, stepless operation.
•Focus limiter: Limits the focus range to 0.33 m across the entire zoom range for a consistent working distance at all focal lengths.
•Any-position: The internal zoom exposes fewer moving parts. The robust weather sealing keeps out dust, dirt, and moisture.3
•New HB-117 lens hood: Round lens hood with a filter opening. This lens hood does not need to be removed with rotating filters. This is useful when using variable ND filters for video.
