Nikon's professional standard zoom for the Z system and the centrepiece of the Z S-line holy trinity — the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S covers the most useful everyday range with a constant f/2.8 aperture and outstanding optical performance. Multi-Focus System autofocus with dual stepping motors delivers fast and accurate tracking across the full zoom range. S-line construction means exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness throughout, and weather sealing handles professional outdoor conditions. The default professional zoom for Nikon Z shooters working in portrait, wedding, events, and documentary photography.

The professional standard zoom for Nikon Z — S-line quality, constant f/2.8, and Multi-Focus System tracking make it the cornerstone lens for professional Z-mount shooters.
