Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II Lens (Nikon Z)

A core part of any professional’s kit, 70-200mm provides an essential telephoto zoom range while a fast constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 delivers flexibility in low light and attractive background blur for portraiture, events, sports and more. With near-silent, high-speed autofocus, outstanding S-Line optics and lighter than anything in its class¹, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II represents the apex of form and function, precisely tailored to the needs of those who demand the best.

A difference you'll feel every time you pick it up. Easier to carry and less tiring to use, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is the lightest lens in its class¹ and a full 26% lighter than its predecessor, thanks to thinner lens elements and a reduction in the total number of elements in the optical design. When carried along with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, you'll benefit from a combined weight savings of 1.1 lbs (492 g) compared to the previous generation.

When your work takes you into difficult, dangerous places, have full confidence that your equipment will be ready when you are.

The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II's internal zoom design, extensive environmental seals and hydrophobic fluorine coating on the front element mean you can shoot confidently, whatever the conditions.²

Multiple L-Fn and L-Fn2 buttons can be assigned to various functions to suit your workflow. Buttons are positioned comfortably around the lens barrel for both horizontal and vertical shooting.

Stable and shake-free, even handheld.

Featuring the same powerful multi-focus system with Silky Swift Voice Coil Motors (SSVCM) as our professional sports telephoto lenses and a new high-precision optical encoder, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II redefines AF performance in its class.

Compared to previous generation:

• 3.5X faster
• 17.5X more precise
• 40% better focus tracking while zooming

The powerful SSVCM focus motors operate silently, so there's no risk of affecting in-camera audio recording.

Designed for hybrid shooting.

Key adjustments at your fingertips.

Ideal for gimbals and matte boxes.

Move in closer than ever before with a minimum focus distance of just 15 inches (0.38 m) at 70mm for a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.3X.

When your work calls for more than 200mm, use the optional NIKKOR Z teleconverters to transform the lens into a high-performance 100-280 f/4 or 140-400mm f/5.6 zoom. Furthermore, minimum focus remains the same, greatly increasing maximum magnification.⁴

High clarity and edge sharpness is maintained thanks, in part, to the class-leading dimensions of the Z-mount.

The optical design of the lens includes an unprecedented six different types of special glass, including fluorite, SR, ED, Super ED and multiple large diameter, double-sided aspherical elements. The end result is sharp, faithful detail, accurate color and exceptional correction of aberrations across the frame, even at wide aperture settings.

The S-Line designation is reserved for premium NIKKOR Z lenses. As an S-Line product, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II features Nikon's best optics, most advanced coatings, cutting-edge technology and premium build.
