Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II Lens – World’s First Internal Zoom

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is the world’s first 24-70mm f/2.8 with an internal zoom design, delivering a 16% weight reduction, improved weather sealing, and a 30% reduction in centre-of-gravity shift — making it the ultimate gimbal-friendly professional standard zoom. With the Silky Swift VCM autofocus system that is 5× faster than its predecessor, upgraded S-Line optics, and Meso Amorphous + ARNEO coatings, this is the definitive workhorse zoom for wedding, event, sports, and hybrid photo/video professionals.
