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

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.

World’s first

24-70mm lens with internal zoom

Lightest 24-70mm f/2.8 lens

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.

Weatherproof build

Dust- and drip-resistant

Internal zoom

No shift in centre of gravity

Better handling for video

Flexible on a gimbal

If you’re shooting with a gimbal, the internal zoom lets you change focal lengths without needing to rebalance the lens. The centre of gravity stays consistent—and your shots stay on point.

Accessory friendly

Since the lens barrel doesn’t extend or retract, accessories like matte boxes or large front-mounted filters stay locked in place as you zoom. No need to reposition them mid-shoot.

No front-heavy shifts

Balance is maintained even if heavy external video accessories are attached to the front of this lens. And when your rig stays balanced, your shots stay smooth.

Near-zero focus breathing

With focus breathing cut in half compared to the previous generation of this zoom lens, transitions couldn’t look more natural. Even during extreme focus pulls, your angle of view won’t change.
