Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S II Lens

The Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S II is a second-generation S-Line professional zoom lens featuring Nikon’s best AF system to date. This upgrade also includes redesigned S-Line optics, stronger image stabilisation, improved ergonomics, and a lighter build that gives photographers and video shooters the edge in more situations than ever before.
Weighing in at just 998g, the Nikon Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S II offers a significant upgrade in terms of balance, agility, and stability. A full 362g lighter than its predecessor, and 12mm shorter, this version is more comfortable to handle when shooting handheld and video shooters using a Z camera on a gimbal will benefit from the balanced internal zoom, which keeps the centre of gravity consistent when changing focal lengths.

Nikon’s best AF system yet
The sheer velocity of Nikon’s Silky Swift voice coil motors and the precision of the multi-focusing system gives responsiveness a massive boost while significantly reducing noise and vibrations.
Silky Swift VCM - Responsiveness gets a massive boost thanks to the sheer velocity of the Silky Swift voice coil motors, plus a high-performance guide mechanism and an AF actuator. Despite the speed, audible noise and vibrations are significantly reduced.
Nikon’s multi-focusing system - With multiple groups of lens elements moving in synchronisation and the new optical construction, precision has improved significantly. Portraits to action, get ready for next-level resolution and sharpness even at close distances.

Vibration Reduction
A fast f/2.8 aperture and 6 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction give you the edge, and Synchro VR delivers maximum stabilisation at the centre and edges of the frame with compatible Z cameras.

S-Line optics
Fewer elements are used to greater effect in a streamlined optical design that takes sharpness, bokeh, and anti-glare performance to new heights.
Super ED and SR glass - The adoption of high-dispersion SR glass as well as Super ED glass effectively counters chromatic aberration and colour fringing. Skin tones will look natural and colours are faithfully reproduced.
Aspherical lens elements - Two dual-sided aspherical lens elements are included to correct sagittal coma and spherical aberrations. Precision crafted with smoother surfaces, these new elements shape the light beautifully.
Meso Amorphous Coat - Nikon’s high-performance anti-reflective coating eliminates incidental light coming from any direction, giving this full-frame telephoto zoom lens exceptional control over ghosting and flare.
ARNEO and SI coatings - ARNEO coat plus multilayer Super Integrated coatings combine to further reduce ghost and flare effects. Your shots will be crisp and clear, even with a direct light source located within the frame.

Smoother bokeh
The new rounded 11-blade aperture and advanced optics produce softer bokeh that’s better defined and smoothly graded for a more natural sense of depth.

Short minimum focus distance
Work with a close focusing distance of 0.38 m at 70mm, and 0.8 m at 200mm. Maximum magnification is 0.25x at 70mm, and 0.3x at 200mm.

Perfect for video
The internal zoom lets you change focal lengths without needing to rebalance your rig, and balance is maintained if using heavy external accessories. Focus breathing is minimised for smoother, more natural-looking transitions.

Pro-grade weather sealing
The Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is sealed against dust and moisture, and a fluorine coat makes it easier to keep the front element clean.
