Features and Specifications
Full-Frame | f/2.8 to f/22
This lens is built for full-frame mirrorless cameras, providing a versatile zoom range from 24mm wide-angle to 70mm telephoto. The constant f/2.8 aperture ensures consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for low-light shooting and achieving beautiful background blur (bokeh). The aperture can also be stopped down to f/22 for extended depth of field.
Fast & Lightweight Wide-to-Tele Zoom
Compared to its predecessor, the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II is lighter and more compact while maintaining professional-grade performance. The optimized optical design reduces overall weight, making it easier to handle during long shoots without sacrificing durability or optical quality.

This ensures quick subject acquisition, making it highly effective for capturing moving subjects in sports, weddings, and documentary photography. The near-instantaneous focusing system also enhances performance in video applications.
6.7" Minimum Focusing Distance
One of the standout improvements in this version is its minimum focusing distance of just 6.7 inches (17 cm) at the wide end. This allows photographers to get incredibly close to their subjects for stunning detail, making it an excellent choice for product photography and creative close-ups.
