Indispensable

Mission ready

Whether you’re covering the action with stills or video, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S delivers. Focusing is smooth, fast, and silent, and every component of a scene is rendered with exceptional clarity. You can control shooting parameters directly from the lens, and the build is tough enough to withstand the rigours of daily professional use.

Beautiful bokeh

The wide Z mount and constant f/2.8 rounded 9-blade aperture enable thrilling performance in any light. This telephoto zoom also gives you natural-looking bokeh, which is smoothly graded to the edges of the frame.

Beyond sharp

Sharpness is outstanding throughout the frame—even when shooting at the widest aperture or at close distances. Minimum focus distance is just 0.5 m at the wide end of the zoom range, and 1 m at the telephoto end.

Goodbye lens flare

ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings combat ghosting and flare. Nikon’s ED and SR glass counter chromatic aberration, with SR glass compensating for hard-to-control blue light. You get sharper images and better contrast.

Ready for video

When the story calls for video, you get smooth, precise control over your shots. The lens panel features a depth-of-field scale, so you can easily determine the minimum and maximum distances at any given f-stop. Focus breathing is all but eliminated, and stable aperture control delivers natural exposure changes throughout the scene.

Endure everything

This lens is fully weather-sealed and ready to withstand use in the most challenging locations. A fluorine coating repels water, dust, and dirt without compromising image quality.
