to the lens length or center of gravity—zoom lens versatility with prime lens handling.
Ideal for gimbals and matte boxes.
When your camera is rigged up, you can quickly reframe your shot without having to rebalance a gimbal, reposition a matte box or move around other accessories.
Better protection against dust and moisture.
With no extending or retracting parts, dust and moisture have less chance of entering the sealed lens, and the barrel is stronger and lighter.1
Nikon’s best AF system to date.
5x faster focusing*.
Silky Swift Voice Coil Motors (SSVCM) and a high-performance AF actuator boost the speed of the multi-focus system beyond any NIKKOR lens yet.
50% quieter and smoother.
Autofocus vibrations have been all but eliminated, ensuring camera noise never disturbs special moments or ruins important video takes.
Enhanced tracking while zooming.
Focus tracking performance during zooming is enhanced by approx. 60%*, making it easier to keep your subject in focus while quickly zooming in or out.
Smooth focus transitions during push-ins.
Focus breathing has been suppressed to staggering new levels—less than half the amount of the previous generation 24-70mm f/2.8 lens—and the fast, silent AF system tracks subjects without jitter during push-ins. "*Best AF performance is achieved when used on a camera equipped with an EXPEED 7 image processor. Measured in accordance with Nikon standards."
World’s lightest full-frame 24-70mm f/2.8*.
A full 15% (130g) lighter than its predecessor and more nimble than any other lens in its class at just 675g. Whether you're shooting with your camera rigged up, on a gimbal or handheld, you'll enjoy all-day comfort and agile handling.
