Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 lens

Bright and versatile, the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S NIKON is a standard zoom, covering wide-angle to vertical fields of view. Characterized by its bright constant maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens is suitable for working in a variety of lighting conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field to isolate subjects and work with selective focus. The optical design incorporates a pair of extra-low dispersion elements along with four aspherical elements, which help control chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range to improve clarity and sharpness. In addition, ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats, as well as a Super Integrated Coating, have been applied to suppress flare, ghosting and surface reflections to improve contrast and color fidelity.

Complementing the optical design, a multi-focus system, employing two stepper motors, helps achieve impressively quiet, precise and quiet focusing performance, along with full-time manual focus override, to meet video and photo needs. The lens also has a unique physical design, incorporating a superior OLED information panel that can be used to quickly confirm aperture and focus settings, and an assignable L.Fn button allows for exposure and configuration adjustments through the lens. In addition, a programmable control ring can be configured for intuitive adjustment in a variety of camera and exposure settings.

• The standard zoom covers a range from wide-angle to vertical and is designed for Z-mount mirrorless cameras in FX format.
• The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and using selective focus techniques.
• Four aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for sharp images with accurate representation.
• Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color stripes and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range to produce greater clarity and color representation.
• ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats are used to prevent the appearance of ghosting, reflections and flashes, for improved contrast and clarity when working in bright light and backlight conditions. The Nano Crystal Coat controls incidental light from a diagonal direction, while the ARNEO Coat controls incidental light from a vertical direction. A super-integrated coating is also offered in multiple elements to help ensure consistently accurate colors.
• The multifocus system incorporates two separate AF unit units, which are synchronized, to offer especially fast and accurate focusing throughout the zoom range. This system uses stepper motors, which offer incredibly smooth and quiet autofocus performance that adapts well to still images and video applications. It is also possible to override full-time manual focus and an internal focus design is used, where only internal lens clusters are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use, and to promote faster focusing speeds.
• The programmable control ring is set by default to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
• The integrated OLED lens information panel allows you to quickly confirm aperture settings, focusing distance and depth of field figures directly on the target in both light and dark situations.
• The assignable L.Fn button works in conjunction with the camera-based Fn buttons to provide a perfect spot to quickly change exposure settings and other functions.
• The specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability which is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous firing speeds.
• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasant focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focusing techniques.
• The dust- and moisture-resistant lens cylinder benefits the use of the lens in inclement conditions.
