Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens

The NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena redefines the art of bokeh for the NIKKOR Z lenses. Even at its remarkable f/1.8 maximum aperture, the lens delivers a large and beautiful round bokeh, adding captivating depth to every image captured. By minimising colour fringing, the lens ensures that the bokeh effect remains stunningly beautiful, almost mystical, and, more significantly, free from distracting elements from the foreground to the background.

With the NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena, users can achieve edge-to-edge near-circular bokeh. Thanks to the carefully designed lens construction, uniform light is shared across the entire lens to minimise vignetting and control limitations in AF. Users can expect to achieve harmonious, accurate, and beautiful expressions as the shape of the bokeh is consistent across the frame, from the centre to the edge.

Clarity with exceptional rendering performance

Crafted with uncompromising attention to detail, the NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena achieves an exceptional S-Line rendering performance at 135mm focal length. Users can create images that will inspire others as the lens allows them to precisely reproduce the intricate textures of their subjects’ skin and hair – a testament to Nikon's commitment to perfection.

With the highest point-image reproduction performance among NIKKOR Z lenses, the NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena ensures every detail, whether landscapes or night scenes, is captured with stunning clarity. Its abundant peripheral light volume at the maximum aperture of f/1.8 showcases brilliance that stands above the competition.

In addition, the lens boasts superior autofocus performance with its multi-focus system that allows photographers to capture every moment with precision and ease, even at a shallow depth of field. Users can enjoy precise focusing, perfect for highly detailed candid portraiture and street photography at the maximum aperture, thanks to the high-speed and highly accurate AF, without worrying about AF operational sound. Furthermore, smooth AF is possible when performing slow focusing during the recording of videos.

Capturing images under strong, harsh sunlight tends to result in ghosting or flares. With the double coating of Nikon’s proprietary Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO Coat, ghosting and flares caused by various incident light sources would be significantly reduced

Your perfect imaging partner

The NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena is only the second premium grade lens within the Z mount series, after the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens, to be bestowed a special name indicative of its performance. Engraved with the word “Plena” to highlight its superiority in capturing fantastic, full expressions that harmonise the brilliance of subjects with beautiful bokehs, this premium lens design embodies exceptional optical performance worthy of top-tier NIKKOR Z lenses.

Users can expect form and function with this lens as it allows them to experience a sense of balance and an impressive impact without feeling imposing, thanks to its user-friendly design that takes advantage of the large diameter. Users can also focus on getting their shots as the lens features an L-Fn button at the top of the lens body to assign functions, much like the Fn1/Fn2 button, or change settings smoothly when shooting vertically.

Additionally, users can enjoy a smoother operation with a comfortable torque feeling, as the newly designed control ring allows for superb operability. The ring also enables a more intuitive experience where users can change setting values depending on how much they rotate it. In addition, users can capture a wider range of expressions with the lens’ versatile 82-mm
