Nikon upgrades "world's best" 70-200mm trinity zoom – the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is better, lighter, faster (and expensive-er…)

Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II.

Nikon has announced the successor to the Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, which we proclaimed as "probably the best 70-200mm zoom in the world" in our original review. That first-generation lens was released back in the summer of 2020, and it might be time we had a rethink, because, just as it has done with the pro-grade Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, Nikon is launching a new and improved model of this already top-notch trinity telephoto zoom.

The second-generation Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II has been redesigned from the ground up with Nikon’s best autofocus system to date, reengineered S-Line optics, stronger image stabilization, improved ergonomics, and a lighter build.
