Superior Optical Performance

Featuring a fast, constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens ensures beautiful background blur and consistent exposure across the entire zoom range. Its advanced optical construction includes ED, SR, and fluorite elements, along with Nano Crystal and ARNEO coatings. These technologies work together to reduce chromatic aberration, ghosting, and flare, delivering ultra-sharp, high-contrast images even in backlit or harsh lighting conditions.

Fast and Accurate Autofocus

The Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S uses a multi-focusing system with dual stepping motors for fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus performance. It supports eye-detection and subject tracking on Nikon Z cameras, making it ideal for fast-moving subjects and critical portrait work. Manual focus override is smooth and responsive, allowing full control when needed.

Built-In Vibration Reduction

To ensure sharper handheld shots, especially in low light or at longer focal lengths, the lens features powerful built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) with up to 5 stops of image stabilization. This allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds with confidence, both for stills and video.

Optimized for Video

Designed with videographers in mind, this lens offers extremely quiet operation and minimizes focus breathing—delivering smooth, professional-grade footage. Its responsive and customizable control ring allows for silent adjustments of aperture or exposure compensation during recording, making it a top choice for hybrid shooters.
