First class: The world's first professional 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with internal zoom and at 675 g it is the lightest in its class.
Internal zoom: The lens barrel does not extend and retract. The centre of gravity remains constant and the shots remain precise.

Improvements for videos: The internal zoom means that the lens does not need to be rebalanced when using a gimbal, and heavy accessories are easier to handle. Focus breathing is also reduced for more natural transitions.
The fastest autofocus yet: The first zoom lens with Multi-Focusing System and Nikon's Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM). For faster, quieter and more precise performance across the entire zoom range.

Next-generation S-Line optics: Maximum image quality and a lighter lens.
With double-sided aspherical lenses and ED glass as well as meso-amorphous coating and ARNEO coating against ghost images and stray light.
Softer, rounder bokeh: The rounded 11-blade diaphragm and advanced optics provide a more circular bokeh that is clearly defined and smoothly gradated.
Extremely short focusing distance: only 0.24 m at 24 mm and 0.33 m at 70 mm.
The maximum magnification is 0.21x at 24 mm and 0.32x at 70 mm.
Control ring with switchable click: "On", for tactile feedback during gradual adjustments. "Off", for smooth, noiseless, stepless operation.

Focus limiter: Limits the focus range to 0.33 m over the entire zoom range for a constant working distance at all focal lengths.
Anywhere: The robust weather sealing keeps out dust, dirt and moisture.
