The details
At a glance: Nikon's flagship Z-mount 70-200mm f/2.8 telephoto zoom, with a constant f/2.8 aperture and up to 5.5 stops of VR.
About this lens
The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S is Nikon's flagship S-line telephoto zoom for its Z mirrorless system, released in 2020. It holds a constant f/2.8 aperture across the whole range and pairs a multi-focus AF system with up to 5.5 stops of Vibration Reduction, while focusing noticeably closer than the DSLR-era 70-200mm it succeeds.

Works with
- All Nikon Z full-frame (FX) mirrorless bodies - native Z mount, no adapter needed
- Nikon Z DX / APS-C bodies (e.g. Z50, Zfc, Z30) - gives an effective 105-300mm field of view
- Nikon Z TC-1.4x teleconverter - becomes 98-280mm f/4
- Nikon Z TC-2.0x teleconverter - becomes 140-400mm f/5.6
- No FTZ adapter required - this is a native Z lens, not an adapted F-mount DSLR design
Best for
A do-everything telephoto for portrait, wedding, sports, wildlife and event photographers who need reach with a bright, constant aperture. On full-frame Z bodies it gives the classic 70-200mm field of view; on DX/APS-C Z cameras the 1.5x crop yields an effective 105-300mm reach. As a native Z-mount lens it mounts directly on any Z body with no FTZ adapter, and it accepts Nikon's Z TC-1.4x and TC-2.0x teleconverters when you need extra reach.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Nikon's Z teleconverters?
Yes. It is compatible with the Z TC-1.4x (making it a 98-280mm f/4) and the Z TC-2.0x (140-400mm f/5.6), with autofocus and VR retained.
Can I use it on a DX (APS-C) Z camera like the Z50 or Zfc?
Yes. It mounts natively, and with the 1.5x crop it gives an effective 105-300mm field of view - a handy sports and wildlife reach.
Do I need the FTZ adapter?
No. This is a native Z-mount lens, so it fits directly on any Nikon Z body. The FTZ adapter is only for older F-mount DSLR lenses.
How close can it focus?
Down to 0.5m at the 70mm end (1.0m at 200mm), for a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.2x - useful for tighter detail shots.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes — built-in VR, up to 5.5 stops.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
