Nikon NIKKOR Z 24‑70mm f/2.8 S II Compact camera Standard zoom lens Black

Our professional standard zoom lens has evolved. With an internal zoom plus next-generation autofocus and S-line optics, it’s lighter, sharper, better balanced—and better for video. When you can only take one lens, this workhorse will bring the story home.

Best in class 24-70mm f/2.8 full-frame zoom lens
In a feat of engineering, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is the first professional 24-70mm lens to pack an internal zoom—and it’s also the lightest lens in its class.1 Weighing in at a cool 675 g, this super-versatile lens is now more stable and easier to handle thanks to a barrel that doesn’t extend or retract when you change focal lengths.

Versatile, steady, robust
The internal zoom maximises the versatility of this 24-70mm lens beautifully. Weather sealing is robust and fewer moving parts are exposed to the elements, so you can confidently go wherever the story takes you without worrying about your gear.2 Plus, there’s no weight shift: you can zoom without needing to adjust your grip—and the lens barrel won’t extend and interfere with your close-up shots.

Smoother, better-defined bokeh
The new optical design boasts precision crafted aspherical lens elements that shape the light beautifully. Background and foreground bokeh is well defined, and graded so smoothly that you could be forgiven for thinking you shot with a fast prime lens.

Rounded 11-blade aperture
A new 11-blade aperture produces more circular bokeh, while the new S-line optical design ensures point light sources like stars and city lights will be sharp and clear. Coupled with the constant f/2.8 aperture and close focusing prowess of this professional zoom lens, you can shoot cinematic close-ups in any light. Or go for mesmerising low-light nightscapes and landscapes.
