This high-performance telephoto prime lens is designed for Nikon’s Z-mount system, offering exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness and breathtaking bokeh, making it perfect for portraiture, still life, and cinematic video. Whether you're a photographer or videographer, the Plena lens elevates every shot with rich detail, stunning clarity, and smooth, circular bokeh.

Key Features:

ARNEO and Meso Amorphous Coatings: These coatings reduce ghosting, flare, and reflections, even in challenging lighting conditions, delivering unmatched image contrast and clarity.
Customisable Control Ring: The lens features a programmable control ring that lets you adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation with ease.

Revolutionary Z-Mount Design for Unmatched Image Quality

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena leverages the larger Nikon Z-mount to gather more light, reducing vignetting and achieving stunning edge-to-edge sharpness. With a large rear element, this lens provides consistent brightness across the entire frame, minimising refraction and producing exceptional bokeh and clarity at every aperture. This makes it ideal for low-light environments, where precise detail and smooth transitions are paramount.

Stunning Optics for Unmatched Performance

Built to provide exceptional image clarity, this lens combines multiple optical elements—including ED and SR elements—with Nikon’s ARNEO and Meso Amorphous coatings to virtually eliminate ghosting, flare, and chromatic aberrations. Whether shooting in strong sunlight or backlit conditions, your images will display remarkable contrast, colour accuracy, and sharpness, ensuring your subject stands out with stunning definition.

Optimised for Cinematic Video

Cinematographers will appreciate the Plena's smooth aperture transitions and precise focus shifts, making it a go-to lens for cinematic productions. The fast, silent autofocus and manual focus options, coupled with the Nikon Z system’s advanced video features, make it perfect for both controlled studio shoots and spontaneous on-location filming. The 135mm focal length also excels in creating beautiful subject separation and intimacy, giving your footage a unique, professional look.

Built for Durability and Creative Control

Designed for professional use, the NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena features a durable all-metal construction with weather-resistant sealing, ensuring it can handle tough conditions. Its lightweight, ergonomic design makes it easy to carry, and the customisable control ring allows you to assign essential functions like aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation, giving you intuitive, precise control in any shooting environment. A fluorine coating repels dust, water, and dirt, keeping your lens in pristine condition for longer.

Perfect for both photographers and videographers, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens delivers a combination of stunning optics, robust design, and seamless functionality. Whether you're capturing breathtaking portraits or cinematic video, this lens unlocks new creative possibilities with its cutting-edge optical technologies and superb handling.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
