Nikon's updated flagship standard zoom with improved optics and Synchro VR support.
The Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is the updated version of Nikon's flagship Z-mount standard zoom, released in 2025. Building on the already exceptional original, it adds an improved optical formula, Synchro VR support for enhanced stabilisation with compatible Z bodies, and refined lens coatings.
Optical quality builds on the original's reference-grade performance with further improvements to corner sharpness and flare resistance. Synchro VR enables coordinated stabilisation between lens and body for enhanced results. The OLED display and customisable control ring carry over from the original.
Nikon Z mount only, 82mm filter thread. The original Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S at lower used prices remains an outstanding lens. The Mark II represents incremental improvement rather than a fundamental redesign.
Very new with prices close to retail. The original Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S at reduced used prices is arguably the better value. Check Synchro VR operation with your body and the OLED display. The Mark II is for those who want the absolute best or are buying new.
