Professional zoom lens for Nikon FX DSLRs

The AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is a constant-aperture zoom built for Nikon full-frame DSLR cameras. It covers a 24-70mm focal range with a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout. Vibration Reduction image stabilization helps steady handheld shots. The lens uses an electromagnetic diaphragm for consistent exposure control during high-speed shooting. It suits photographers who need one versatile lens for events, studio work, and video.

Constant f/2.8 aperture

The defining specification is the f/2.8 constant maximum aperture maintained from 24mm to 70mm. An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism controls the aperture blades electronically rather than mechanically. This delivers more consistent exposure accuracy during continuous shooting and video recording. The optical design includes Aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion, ED, and HRI glass elements to suppress aberrations across the frame. Minimum focus distance is 0.38 m at wider focal lengths and 0.41 m at 70mm.

Direct F-mount attachment with standard handling

The lens mounts directly to any Nikon F-mount DSLR without adapters. Auto focus is driven by a built-in Silent Wave Motor for quiet operation. Vibration Reduction can be toggled via a switch on the barrel. The zoom ring rotates through the 24-70mm range and the focus ring remains accessible for manual override. Buyers who need a lighter variable-aperture zoom or a wider focal range should consider other options. The lens ships with front and rear caps and a hood.

Questions about this item

How does the constant f/2.8 aperture behave when I zoom from 24 mm to 70 mm on a full-frame DSLR?

The electromagnetic diaphragm keeps the aperture fixed at f/2.8 across the entire 24-70 mm range, so exposure stays consistent while you zoom.

What does the electromagnetic diaphragm control compared with a mechanical linkage?

It drives the aperture blades electronically for more precise, consistent exposure during high-speed bursts and video recording.

What is the closest focus distance at the wide and tele ends of the zoom?

At 24 mm you can focus as close as 0.38 m, and at 70 mm the minimum distance is 0.41 m from the focal plane.
