Autofocus and manual focus are both supported, making it adaptable to a range of shooting disciplines. For Nikon F mount DSLR users looking for a dependable standard zoom with a fast aperture and optical stabilization, this lens covers the key bases.

Maintains f/2.8 throughout the entire 24-70mm zoom range, ensuring consistent exposure and depth-of-field control at any focal length.

Constant f/2.8 Aperture

Nikon's Vibration Reduction system helps minimize the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld results, especially useful in lower light.

Optical Image Stabilization

Covers wide-angle through short telephoto in a single lens, making it versatile across portraits, events, street, and documentary work.

24-70mm Focal Range

Extra-low dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration for higher contrast and color accuracy across the frame.

ED Glass Elements

The 'E' designation means the aperture diaphragm is electronically controlled, enabling more consistent exposure during continuous shooting sequences.

Electromagnetic Aperture

Fully compatible with Nikon F mount DSLRs, including full-frame bodies like the D850, D750, and D5.

Nikon F Mount

Internal Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus well-suited to both photo and video shooting.

AF-S Silent Wave Motor

Uses an 82mm front filter thread, a common size shared across several Nikon pro zooms for easier filter system compatibility.

82mm Filter Thread

At 1070g, this is a substantial lens typical of full-frame f/2.8 zooms — buyers should factor this into kit weight considerations.

1070g Build Weight

Designed to cover a full 35mm image circle, making it fully compatible with Nikon's FX-format DSLR bodies without vignetting.
