Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II

The Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is a professional standard zoom lens designed for full-frame Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a significant evolution over its predecessor. Its optical design of 14 elements in 10 groups, including ED and aspherical lenses with advanced Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings, delivers exceptional control of flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberrations, ensuring crisp, high-contrast images with lifelike color even in challenging lighting. The constant f/2.8 aperture balances brightness, depth of field, and bokeh quality, enhanced by an 11-blade rounded diaphragm for smooth background blur. The new SSVCM (Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor) focusing system provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus, ideal for both stills and video, with minimal focus breathing. Its internal zoom mechanism keeps the lens length constant, improving handling and balance during handheld or gimbal shooting, while a minimum focusing distance of 24 cm adds creative flexibility for close-up work. Weighing about 675 grams, the lens is lighter than its predecessor and fully weather-sealed, featuring a robust metal construction and reinforced mount. With its outstanding optical performance, mechanical precision, and professional reliability, the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II stands as the ultimate all-purpose lens for portrait, documentary, wedding, and professional video work.
