Product Details / Description:

Renting the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II provides you with the workhorse lens relied upon by professional photographers worldwide.

About the Product

This S-Line lens boasts an advanced optical construction (14 elements in 10 groups) including two ED elements and three aspherical elements. Nikon’s proprietary anti-reflection coatings (Mesoamorphous and Arneo) virtually eliminate flare, ghosting, and reflections, delivering stunning contrast and clarity. A fluorine coating on the front element repels water and oil, simplifying cleaning.

The dual VCM and SSVCM stepping motors drive the multi-focus system, providing incredibly precise and silent autofocus, which is a major advantage for video and discrete stills shooting. The constant length (Internal Zoom) maintains excellent balance on the camera, especially when mounted on a gimbal or tripod.

Key Features

Faqs:

What is the significance of the “S II” designation?

The “S II” designation means this is the second generation of this S-Line lens. The primary improvements over the original NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S are a reduction in mass (it is approximately 130g lighter) and enhancements to the optical formula and coatings, resulting in a more portable and optically superior lens.

Why is the Internal Zoom mechanism important?

An Internal Zoom mechanism means the physical length of the lens remains constant at approximately 142mm regardless of the focal length setting. This maintains better balance on a camera body, is superior when using accessories like gimbal stabilizers, and enhances the dust and weather resistance of the lens.

What are Mesoamorphous and Arneo coatings?

These are Nikon’s proprietary anti-reflection coatings. Mesoamorphous Coating is extremely effective at suppressing incident light from diagonal directions, while Arneo Coating reduces reflection of light striking from a perpendicular direction. Together, they virtually eliminate ghosting and flare, delivering exceptional image clarity and contrast.

Can I customize the function of the control ring?

Yes. The Control Ring Click Switch is a physical switch on the lens that allows you to change the feel of the control ring, letting you switch between a smooth, click-less operation (ideal for video aperture/ISO control) and a tactile, clicked operation (preferred by some for stills exposure control).

What is the minimum focusing distance, and what is the maximum magnification?

The closest minimum focusing distance is 0.24m at the 24mm end. The maximum magnification achieved is 0.32x at the 70mm end. While not a true macro, this magnification is excellent for detailed close-ups of food, flowers, or small objects.
