NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II

Next generation of our renowned professional medium-telephoto zoom lens. With Nikon’s best AF system to date, redesigned S-Line optics, improved ergonomics, and a lighter build, your go-to lens for telephoto agility excels in more situations than ever before.

Lightest in class¹

Weighing in at just 998 g,² this next-gen S-Line lens is a full 362 g lighter than its predecessor, and 12 mm shorter.

More speed, more stability

A fast f/2.8 aperture and 6 stops³ 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 cameras⁴.

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.

Next-generation 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.

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.

Shorter 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.

Agile 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 sealing

The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is sealed against dust and moisture⁵, and a fluorine coat makes it easier to keep the front element clean.
