Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II Lens (Nikon Z)

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II Lens redefines professional versatility. As Nikon’s latest version of its workhorse standard zoom, it’s built for photographers and videographers who demand precision, reliability, and exceptional optical performance in all conditions.

This version II lens introduces the world’s first internal zoom design for a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, enhancing weather resistance, autofocus speed, and balance—all while being 16% lighter than its predecessor.

Key Features

1. World’s First Internal Zoom 24-70mm f/2.8

• Maintains consistent lens length during use for improved balance and handling.

• Internal design contributes to a 16% (4.5 oz) reduction in weight and a 0.5″ shorter profile.

• Improved dust and moisture resistance ensures reliability in harsh environments.

• Greatly reduces center-of-gravity shifts—perfect for gimbal or handheld video use.

• Matches Nikon’s professional “Trinity Lenses” (14-24mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm) for consistent handling.

2. Enhanced S-Line Optical Performance

• Revised optical formula: Two extra-low dispersion (ED) and three aspherical elements for outstanding clarity and color accuracy.
