Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens
Professional Standard Zoom – Fast f/2.8 Constant Aperture, Silent Wave Motor (SWM), Nano Crystal Coat, 3 ED Elements & 3 Aspherical Elements (Includes Dedicated Lens Hood)

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is a legendary standard zoom lens engineered for full-frame FX-format and DX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs (delivering a 36-105mm equivalent focal length range on DX sensors). Regarded as an essential workhorse for photojournalism, wedding, event, commercial, and portrait photography, this lens combines a versatile wide-to-short-telephoto range with a fast, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for consistent exposure and creative depth-of-field control in challenging low-light conditions.

Optically, the lens incorporates three precision glass-molded aspherical elements and three Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to suppress spherical aberrations, distortion, chromatic fringing, and color aberrations across the entire zoom range. Optical clarity is enhanced with Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating, which minimize internal flare, reflections, and ghosting for rich contrast and color fidelity. Autofocus is powered by a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) utilizing an internal focusing (IF) design, delivering fast, precise, and virtually silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. The rugged, professional-grade barrel features dust and moisture resistance alongside a rounded 9-blade diaphragm for smooth, natural background bokeh.
