Nikon's professional standard zoom with VR — the first f/2.8 24-70mm from Nikon to include stabilisation.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR was released in 2015 as the stabilised successor to the 24-70mm f/2.8G ED, adding 4-stop VR and an electromagnetic diaphragm (E designation — no mechanical aperture lever on the mount). At 1,070g and 82mm filter thread it is heavier than the G predecessor at 900g, reflecting the VR mechanism and revised optics. SWM provides fast, quiet AF.

The optical design uses 20 elements in 16 groups including aspherical, ED, and HRI elements. Nine rounded aperture blades produce smooth bokeh. The 82mm filter thread is standard for professional f/2.8 zooms. At 1,070g the lens is substantial. Minimum focus distance of 0.38m (at 35-50mm; 0.41m at 24mm and 70mm). VR provides approximately 4 stops of compensation. SWM provides fast, quiet AF. Electromagnetic diaphragm requires compatible body for aperture control.

The E designation electromagnetic diaphragm is functionally important: older Nikon F bodies (pre-D750 era) that rely on the mechanical aperture feeler arm may not correctly drive the f/2.8E VR — confirm body compatibility before purchase. VR at 4 stops extends the handheld window substantially for static subjects at the 70mm end. The increased weight over the G version is the primary user complaint on long shooting days.

On the used market the Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is available at established professional zoom pricing. Condition checks: VR engagement, SWM AF response, E-type diaphragm compatibility with intended body (not all older Nikon F bodies support EM aperture), 82mm front element for marks, and zoom ring smoothness. Compatible with all Nikon F-mount FX and DX bodies with electromagnetic diaphragm support.
