Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II zoom lens (JMA724DA)

The Best 24–70 mm f/2.8 Full-Frame Zoom Lens

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is a versatile and precise zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Its internal zoom mechanism maintains a stable center of gravity throughout the zoom range, resulting in smooth and balanced handling. Lighter than its predecessor, weighing only 675 g, the lens offers fast and quiet autofocus, as well as improved optics for sharp images and soft bokeh.

Internal Zoom and Stable Center of Gravity

The lens barrel does not extend or retract when zooming, so the center of gravity remains in the same place. This makes handheld shooting easier and video recording more stable, especially when using a gimbal. The internal zoom also protects moving parts from dust and moisture, and the lens is equipped with professional weather sealing.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus

Nikon’s Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM) provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus. The focus follows the subject even faster and more reliably throughout the zoom range, making it suitable for both photographers and videographers.

Advanced Optical Construction

The lens features 14 elements in 10 groups, including ED and aspherical lenses. New Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings reduce flare and ghosting, making shooting in bright light easier. A 11-blade rounded aperture produces a soft and natural bokeh effect.

Close-Up Shooting and Control Options

The lens focuses very closely, starting at 0.24 meters at a 24 mm focal length and 0.33 meters at a 70 mm focal length. The maximum magnification is 0.32x. The control ring allows you to turn on or off silent and smoothly variable focus or other setting control.

Practical and Durable Construction

The new round hood HB-117 includes a filter adjustment window, making it easy to use rotating filters, such as variable ND filters, without removing the hood. The lens’s weather resistance and internal zoom make it a reliable partner in various shooting conditions.
