Description

Introducing the Nikon Z 135mm F/1.8 S Plena Lens. A premium telephoto prime lens crafted to deliver exceptional image quality and performance for photographers who require both precision and versatility. Designed for full-frame (FX) format Nikon Z-mount cameras, this lens boasts a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8, allowing for stunning shallow depth of field and beautifully blurred backgrounds, which enhances subject isolation-ideal for portrait, event, and even fashion photography.

With an optical design that includes 16 elements organised into 14 groups, the lens employs a combination of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass, Super Refractive (SR) elements, and aspherical elements. This sophisticated construction effectively minimises optical aberrations, resulting in sharp images with high contrast across the frame. The lens also excels in producing round bokeh from edge to edge, making it suitable for creative compositions where aesthetics are key.

Autofocus capability is enhanced through a multi-focus system, providing fast, accurate, and quiet focusing-beneficial for both still photography and videography. With a minimum focus distance of 82 cm (approximately 32.3 inches), the lens enables photographers to capture close-up details with a maximum magnification ratio of 0.2x, expanding creative possibilities in framing and composition.

The programmable linear focus ring and customisable control ring enhance the shooting experience, allowing users to set parameters for fine-tuning their focus or adjusting other settings, ensuring a smoother workflow during critical moments. While the lens does not feature built-in image stabilisation, its design and quality optics help deliver crisp results even without stabilisation.

The inclusion of ARNEO and meso amorphous coatings further enhances performance by reducing flare and ghosting, ensuring clean and vibrant images, even in challenging lighting situations. The dust- and water-resistant design also makes the lens a reliable choice for outdoor photography, providing peace of mind in adverse weather conditions.

Measuring 98 mm (approximately 3.9 inches) in diameter and 139.5 mm (about 5.5 inches) in length, this lens maintains a relatively lightweight profile for its class at just 995 grams (approximately 2.2 lbs), making it manageable to carry for extended periods. The 82 mm filter size allows photographers to use a variety of filters to enhance their creative vision, whether for protection, polarisation, or effects.
