Description

JMA724DA

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

675 g

Lightest 24-70mm f/2.8 lens

Overview

  • The internal zoom mechanism, adopted first in its class*, maintains a consistent length while zooming, ensuring balance on gimbals and superior reliability in challenging conditions.
  • The lightest* design for a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens, weighing only approx. 675 g/1 lb 7.9 oz.
  • Fast and accurate AF is realized by adopting a multi-focusing system with Nikon’s proprietary Silky Swift Voice Coil Motors (SSVCM) employed as high-speed AF actuators that also significantly reduce noise and vibration.
  • The adoption of a large-diameter double-sided aspherical lens for the front lens element and effective arrangement of ED glass and aspherical lens elements provide the highest level of image quality in the S-Line series.
  • The use of Nikon’s proprietary Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO Coat effectively suppresses ghosting and flares, achieving edge-to-edge clarity across the entire frame, even in backlit scenes.
  • *As of August 22, 2025, among 24-70mm f/2.8 interchangeable lenses for full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras. Based on Nikon research.
