Product Features in Detail
Reinventing a Classic Lens
The Z-series standard mounts have always been versatile. However with the NIKKOR Z's 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens, Nikon Z owners have more versatility when it comes to taking the sharpest and most detailed portraits and the fastest-moving shots in sports and high-action events. This reinvention of the classic Z mounted lens provides a multi-focus system with two-stepping motors, a manual focus override that helps when shooting photographs or videos, and complements the built-in Z stabilizers with Nikon's signature vibration reduction image stabilization.
Advanced Lens Technologies
NIKKOR Z has its own anti-reflective nanocrystal and ARNEO coatings that guarantee the highest image quality in any light setting. When you bring this modern mounted lens into any lighting situation, you're guaranteed the best and most vibrant colours and accurate stills and videos. Its fluorine coatings guarantee no dirt and smudges in the photographs. In addition, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is the first lens to feature a short-wavelength refractive (SR) lens element. This is a dispersion glass lens that can refract shorter wavelengths of light. This allows it to achieve reduced chromatic aberration even at maximum zoom.
Nikon's Vibration Reduction Image Stabilization
Nikon's top-tier Vibration Reduction feature is an advanced image stabilization technology capable of reducing blur greatly. Camera shakes are fairly common especially for long-range lenses such as the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S. Because Vibration Reduction resides in the lens and not the image sensor, it can detect the use of tripods, panning, and calculate the possible shaking that allows it to achieve unparalleled image stabilization efficiently. This complements the built-in image sensor-based stabilization in all Nikon Z-series cameras.
Programmable Control Ring
You can set the NIKKOR Z's control ring to adjust manual focus, control aperture, or exposure compensation. These are handy settings to shift on hand especially when you're trying to compose a shot while half-pressing the shutter. In turn, you get the right amount of aperture or exposure aside from just adjusting the focus of your lenses. This is especially helpful when trying to adapt to a fast-action photo situation or finding the right low-light exposure setting in any situation.
Versatile Use for Any Activity
Whether you're an amateur or professional photographer, you can use the NIKKOR Z to improve your skills until you achieve professional results or take your skills and abilities to the next professional level. Whether you're covering sports events, fast-action wildlife events, action scenes, portraits, weddings, or any photographic situation at all, the NIKKOR Z will achieve the results you need with its advanced lens features, efficient and top-tier clarity, and dependable image stability that you'll never have much trouble during the photo post-processing phase.
