Dynamic Performance
The impressive telephoto range lets you keep your distance and catch your subject matter undeterred. but zoom distance is only part of the story. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S delivers superb optical performance.
Gorgeous images of clarity with almost zero colour fringing. the inclusion of a Short-wavelength Refractive (SR) lens element attains highly accurate compensation of chromatic aberration and suppresses colour bleeding by refracting short-wavelength light that is especially difficult to control. This newly-developed SR lens is unique to Nikon and provides outstandingly sharp resolution stills and movies. while achieving a compact lens design. The lens thrives when shooting backlight and diminishes ghost and flare effects. thanks to the inclusion of Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat elements.
Not to understate other features. such as the multi-focus system and the new autofocus (AF) drive system which was developed to enhance optical performance and is a vital feature for the high-level aberration-correction performance the lens provides. Crisp. clarity is also derived from the Vibration Reduction (VR) effect equivalent to a shutter speed of 5.5 stops2 faster.
Whether you spot a peacock’s plumage amongst the trees or want to capture a magical wedding moment with stunning bokeh. the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S can realise your vision thanks to an extremely short minimum focus distance of 0.5 m at the wide-angle end and 1.0 m at the telephoto end.
Poetry in Motion
Capturing stunning movies is a walk in the park with the new NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S. thanks to a raft of essential features. Zoom in and out without the fear of losing focus as you shoot with enhanced tracking performance that allows you to focus on the subject continuously and minimise shifting of the angle of view with focus-breathing reduction. Not to be underestimated. the lens operates smoothly and quietly thanks to the independent control ring. which allows for the assignment of a variety of functions.
Flexible Functionality
Ease-of-use is paramount for professional photographers and the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S certainly delivers. A well-placed lens information panel with adjustable brightness lets you quickly confirm various functions. such as aperture. focus distance and depth of field. so you can focus on getting the shots you need even in the dark. Shooting flexibility is a strong point owing to the inclusion of two Fn buttons that can be assigned as best fits your needs. Rounding it off. is a dedicated focus ring that is separate from the control ring to let you manually focus with ease.
