Nikon 20052 AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens Kit

Name: Nikon 20052 AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens Kit
Brand: Nikon
SKU: 20052

Overview

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is a professional standard zoom lens that covers the most frequently used focal length range for everything from wide-angle landscapes at 24mm to flattering portraits at 70mm, all while maintaining a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. The optical design uses 20 elements in 16 groups, incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion), aspherical, and HRI (High Refractive Index) elements to control chromatic aberration and distortion. Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating work together to suppress ghosting and flare, which is especially beneficial when shooting in backlit conditions or near strong light sources. The inclusion of VR image stabilization—a feature not found in many competing 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses—provides a meaningful advantage for handheld shooting in lower light.

This bundle extends the value of the lens with a curated set of accessories. The 82mm filter collection includes a UV filter for everyday lens protection, a circular polarizer for managing reflections and enhancing skies, a fluorescent filter for color correction, and a 4-piece close-up macro kit for exploring close-focus photography without a dedicated macro lens. A deluxe padded lens case provides secure storage and transport, while the lens cap keeper and cleaning kit handle day-to-day maintenance. The Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, quiet autofocus that is well-suited to event and wedding photography where discretion matters, and the rounded 9-blade diaphragm renders smooth, attractive bokeh at wide apertures.
