Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Lens
Professional Standard Zoom – Constant f/2.8 Aperture, Silent Wave Motor (SWM), Nano Crystal Coat & ED Optics (Includes Caps & Hood / Minor Internal Dust & Hair)

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is a professional standard zoom lens engineered for full-frame FX-format and DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras. Featuring a bright, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across its entire focal range, this optic offers subject isolation, shallow depth-of-field control, and reliable low-light performance for photojournalism, portraiture, events, and everyday shooting.

Optically, the lens incorporates three Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements alongside three precision Glass Molded Aspherical (GMA) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, color fringing, spherical distortion, and field curvature. A combination of Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating (SIC) suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting under harsh overhead or backlit lighting. Powered by a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and an Internal Focus (IF) mechanism, it delivers fast, quiet, and precise autofocus with full-time manual focus override while keeping the overall lens length fixed during focusing. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural background blur.
