Overview
- The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, one of the high-performance S-Line models, covers the 70 to 200 mm focal-length range with a constant bright maximum aperture of f/2.8.
- Various lenses that provide superior optical performance such as a newly developed SR (Short-wavelength Refractive) lens element, one fluorite lens element, six ED glass elements and two aspherical lens elements are generously incorporated.
- The multi-focusing system delivers sharp images without color bleeding at the focal plane across the entire shooting range, including short distances, while contributing to highly accurate, high-speed AF.
- Extremely short minimum focus distance of 0.5 m is achieved at the wide-angle end, despite being a telephoto zoom lens, enabling users to boldly approach subjects to take high-quality images.
- The built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) function provides a superior compensation effect equivalent to shooting at a shutter speed 5.5 stops*1 faster, the maximum in the history of NIKKOR interchangeable lenses*2.
- *1Based on CIPA Standard; in NORMAL mode; this value is achieved when attached to a mirrorless camera equipped with 35mm film size image sensor, and when zoom is set to the maximum telephoto position.
- *2As of January 7, 2020.
- Both Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat are employed to effectively reduce ghost and flare effects caused by incident light from any direction, enabling the capture of clear and crisp images even under harsh lighting conditions.
- Outstanding movie recording performance is realized by intensive consideration even of details such as focus-breathing compensation, enhanced AF tracking performance and minimized operational sound.
- The control ring, which is separate from the focus ring, allows smooth operability with the assignment of a function selected from various options (aperture, exposure compensation, ISO sensitivity, none).
- Shooting flexibility is greatly expanded by adopting a lens information panel for easy confirmation of settings even in dark situations and two lens Fn buttons to which various functions can be assigned.
- By employing parts made of magnesium alloy, a lightweight and durable body is achieved, providing highly mobile, stress-free shooting.
- Superb dust- and drip-resistant capability and Nikon’s fluorine coat applied to the front lens element deliver enhanced reliability.

NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S
Obsession for details. Uncompromising Zoom.
The highly-desirable 70-200mm telephoto zoom has come to the Z series. Sports, concerts, weddings, wildlife, portraiture and so much more—all with the incredible low light performance of an f/2.8 made only better by the optically superior Z mount. Optical advancements support passionate cinematographers and videographers. Class-leading close focus ability. Superior aberration suppression. And the most comprehensive optical VR image stabilization in the history of NIKKOR interchangeable lenses. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S sets an impressive new standard for fast telephoto zoom lenses optimized for the next generation of Nikon’s advanced mirrorless cameras.
NIKKOR quality at its absolute best.
Captivating resolution. Ultimate aberration control. Even at the far edges of the frame. And a new SR refractive element further combats chromatic aberrations caused by challenging short-wavelength light.
Class-leading close focusing.
At 70mm, the lens can achieve an extremely short minimum focusing distance as close as 0.5m from the subject, allowing the lens’ speed and performance to shine in remarkably tight shooting scenarios.
The finest of details.
Optical image stabilization
Steadier than ever with Optical VR, effective for up to an unprecedented 5.5 stops*. Also works in conjunction with the in-body image stabilization available in select Z Series cameras.
Brilliant in low light
Exceptional combination of a bright f/2.8 aperture, high resolution NIKKOR optics and the brilliant Z mount allows for clean, sharp images and faster shutter speeds in dark scenes and interiors.
Highly-cinematic
Silent AF with virtually no shifting of the angle of view (known as focus breathing). Smooth aperture, focus or exposure adjustments via control ring. Superior optical image stabilization. Versatility of the highly useful 70-200mm focal range.
Dust and Drip resistant
Extensively sealed to keep dust and moisture out, especially around all moving parts of the lens barrel.
