The AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is a highly practical and multi-talented lens that allows photographers to photograph anything from tight portraits to expansive landscapes with just one high-performance fast aperture lens. The lens features optical designs that incorporate ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements for minimal chromatic aberration, and aspherical lenses including large-diameter PGM (Precision Glass Molding) elements to reduce coma and other types of aberration even at the widest aperture. The 24-70mm also benefits from Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat – an extra-low refractive index coating that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths, and is particularly effective in reducing ghosting and flare. Inside the Silent Wave motor (AF-S) provides super fast and quiet auto focus operation. The result of all these innovations produces images that are vivid, sharp and deliver optimum contrast.

  • Constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 at all focal lengths
  • Enhanced optics, engineered to produce exceptional sharpness, contrast and color, render outstanding image integrity
  • ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration to deliver stunning sharpness and contrast

  • IF (Internal Focusing) enables focusing without changing the length of lens barrel
