About Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens
Be at the helm of your photographic journey with Nikon's superior 24-70mm f/2.8E ED AF-S NIKKOR VR Lens, the ultimate tool for professionals seeking to capture every detail of every moment. This lens is a refined version of its iconic predecessor, boasting state-of-the-art Vibration Reduction (VR) technology. With an impressive four stops of image stabilization, this lens enables photographers to seize crystal-clear shots even in challenging light conditions, from dimly lit wedding venues to unpredictable outdoor events.
For landscape enthusiasts, the Tripod Mode ensures maximum clarity, while filmmakers will appreciate the depth-of-field control paired with this stabilization. The lens also features an Electromagnetic Aperture control, ensuring consistent exposures during high-speed shooting sequences. This means every frame is precisely captured, no matter how fast the action unfolds.
The 24-70mm f/2.8E ED AF-S NIKKOR VR Lens is not just about technical advancements; it's about delivering unparalleled optical excellence. The introduction of the Aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion (ASP/ED) element, combined with traditional aspherical, ED, and High-Refractive Index (HRI) elements, signifies a significant shift in optical precision. Expect photographs and videos characterized by a harmonious blend of sharpness, subtle blur effects, and minimal aberrations. The Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare instances.
Built for resilience and precision, this lens is meticulously sealed against harsh elements, and the fluorine coating on its front and rear elements repels dirt, moisture, and smudges. With 20 elements in 16 groups, the lens's optical design is formidable. Its 9-blade diaphragm crafts naturally blurred backgrounds that aesthetically complement the subject.
The 24-70mm focal length is ideal for a range of scenarios, from serene landscapes to bustling press events. With a constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens excels in low-light, capturing fast-moving subjects with a beautiful bokeh blur. The lens employs a non-spherical surface to counter aberrations, ensuring compactness without compromising on clarity. Nikon's ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass and HRI (High Refractive Index Lens) work together to rectify chromatic aberrations, delivering stellar optical performance in a sleek body.
The lens also features an innovative focusing system with an IF lens, allowing for closer focusing distances. The M/A Focusing Mode allows for a near-instantaneous switch between automatic and manual focusing just by turning the focusing ring. Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat virtually eradicates internal lens reflections across numerous wavelengths, drastically reducing ghost and flare caused by oblique light. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) employs ultrasonic vibrations to focus the lens, resulting in a smooth, silent, and precise autofocus. Every optical element in this NIKKOR lens receives a multilayer coating, ensuring optimal light transmission and minimal reflections.
For professionals seeking top-tier performance and undeniable quality, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is more than a lens - it's a commitment to photographic excellence.
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens Features
- Optical precision to the edge of the frame: A first for NIKKOR lenses, a new Aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion (ASP/ED) element is paired with traditional AS, ED and HRI elements for a thrilling new level of optical precision.
- Versatility, speed and durability: 24-70mm is the sweet spot of the zoom range for many photographers, great for everything from landscapes and studio work to weddings and press events. The f/2.8 constant aperture allows for faster shutter speeds to freeze fast action, renders a beautiful bokeh blur and performs brilliantly in low light
- 4.0 stops of Vibration Reduction: Nikon's Vibration Reduction image stabilization technology. It reduces camera shake and vibration up to ~4.0 stops. Capture sharp, steady handheld stills and HD videos, and shoot at slower shutter speeds in low-light situations without sacrificing sharpness. Versatility, enhanced.
- Aspherical Lens: A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture.
- Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism: An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. With conventional D/G type lenses, the diaphragm blades are operated by mechanical linkage
- ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass: An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
- HRI: HRI stands for High Refractive Index Lens. With a refractive index of more than 2.0, one HRI lens can offer effects equivalent to those obtained with several normal glass elements and can compensate for both field curvature and spherical aberrations. Therefore, HRI lenses achieve great optical performance in an even more compact body.
- IF Lens: A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.
- M/A: Select NIKKOR lenses have a focusing mode which allows switching from automatic to manual focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens. This makes it possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual focusing while looking through the viewfinder.
- Nano Crystal Coat: An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
- Silent Wave Motor: AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which represents a significant advance in AF lens technology. SWM uses ultrasonic vibrations rather than a gear system to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.
- Super Integrated Coating: Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
