Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II Zoom

Nikon 70-200mm F2.8 VR S II lens - Black on White Background
1/3
New Release
    Product Details

    The Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is a next-generation upgrade engineered for the thrill of action - lighter, faster, and purpose-built for sports, wildlife, and journalism photographers. It lets you move freely and react instantly. With reduced weight, a constant f/2.8 aperture, and autofocus up to 3.5x faster, you can freeze decisive, once-in-a-lifetime moments before they're gone.

    Performance Breakthroughs

    • 26% lighter than the previous NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, at only 998g (without tripod collar) - the lightest in its class
    • 3.5× faster autofocus than the renowned NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S with Nikon's Silky Swift VCM (SSVCM) motor, which is also 50% quieter
    • 40% better tracking performance while zooming on fast-moving subjects
    • 17.5x greater position detection accuracy for in-focus elements, powered by a new optical ABS encoder
    • Compatible with both Z TELECONVERTER TC 1.4x and 2.0x, extending your reach to 280mm or 400mm

    Professional Versatility

    The 70-200mm focal range paired with a bright f/2.8 aperture makes this lens a true "workhorse" across nearly every professional genre. At the 70mm end, it's ideal for intimate portraits and event coverage, allowing you to capture a sense of the environment while maintaining natural proportions. Zoomed in to 200mm, the lens provides incredible perspective compression, which brings backgrounds closer to your subject - a favourite technique for landscape photographers looking to make distant mountains appear more prominent or for portrait photographers wanting to isolate their subjects with creamy, professional bokeh.

    The f/2.8 aperture is essential for indoor sports and low-light wedding ceremonies, providing the light-gathering power needed to keep shutter speeds high enough to freeze fast-moving action without sacrificing image quality. With a minimum focus distance of just 0.38m at 70mm, you can get remarkably close to your subjects for detailed close-ups.

    Key Specifications

    • Weight: 998g (excluding tripod collar ring and protective cover)
    • Minimum Focus Distance: 0.38m (at 70mm)
    • Autofocus: Silky Swift VCM (3.5x faster and 50% quieter)
    • Lens Coating: Meso Amorphous Coat, Fluorine Coating, ARNEO Coat for superior flare suppression
    • Filter Diameter: 77mm (same as the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II)

    Usability is further enhanced by a dedicated Control Ring equipped with a Click Switch for tactile adjustments, while the included tripod ring ensures a perfectly balanced setup when using external support.
