Product Description
Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of a new standard
AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR lens with constant f/2.8 aperture to further strengthen its
zoom lens lineup. This new lens, together with the simultaneously introduced
ultra-wideangle AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, and the existing AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor
70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED telephoto zoom lens, is part of an exclusive Nikon
high-performance zoom lens system featuring the high f/2.8 aperture and covering
a focal range of 14 mm to 200 mm.
This AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is a standard 2.9x zoom lens with a highly
practical wideangle to medium-telephoto focal range, offering maximum
versatility to accommodate everything from tight portraits to expansive scenes.
With compact dimensions of 83 x 133 mm/3.3 x 5.2 in. and a low weight of
approx. 900 g/31.7 oz., it provides superb handling and outstanding portability.
The superior functioning of the newly developed optical system ensures flawless
synchronization with Nikons digital SLRs. The design " featuring ED (Extra-low
Dispersion) glass elements for minimal chromatic aberration, and aspherical
lenses including large-diameter PGM (Precision Glass Molding) element to
eliminate coma and other types of aberration even at the widest aperture"
delivers brilliant overall optical performance. Nano Crystal Coat, extra-low
refractive index coating, virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections
across a wide range of wavelengths, and is particularly effective in reducing
ghosting and flare.
Other important features include Nikons Super Integrated Coating that minimizes
reflection in the wider wavelength range to ensure superior color balance and
reproduction. Nikons exclusive SWM (Silent Wave Motor), incorporated in the
lens body, ensures fast, quiet autofocus operation. M/A mode lets users switch
quickly from automatic to manual focusing, even during AF servo operation, with
virtually no time lag. The rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements
appear more natural. A flower-shaped bayonet hood is supplied.
The lens barrel is designed for secure holding, with zoom and focusing rings of
the optimal diameter for smooth rotation, and rubber-coated to provide
comfortable operation while ensuring ample ruggedness.
This new zoom lens is the latest addition to an already formidable lineup,
offering photographers enhanced shooting flexibility.
