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

While the Mark II version of this lens has received many substantial upgrades, perhaps none is more important than the internal zoom. It is the world's first 24-70mm f/2.8 internal zoom, which benefits creators in numerous ways. First, the internal design helps the lens shave off 4.5oz and 0.5" from its fully extended predecessor. Internal zoom also helps improve the lens's weather resistance, enhancing reliability in adverse weather conditions. Finally, video shooters will appreciate the internal design, which reduces shifts in the center of gravity during zooming, improving ease of use when shooting on a gimbal.

Nikon reserves its "S" designation for its finest lenses, which meet stricter quality-control standards than normal lenses and offer second-to-none performance. A new optical design is more flare-resistant and features two extra low-dispersion and three aspherical elements that limit aberrations and fringing. A Meso Amorphous Coat gives the best-ever anti-reflective performance for any NIKKOR lens, and an ARNEO Coat offers well-rounded anti-glare protection to improve optical quality regardless of where the light comes from in your frame. A Fluorine coat on the front element repels dust, water, grease, and makes it easier to wipe clean. Bokeh rendering is fantastic, and the f/2.8 aperture delivers beautiful background blur throughout the focal range.
