Nikon Z System. The Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena was designed specifically for cameras in Nikon’s full-frame Z-mount system. Z-mount lenses only work with Z-mount cameras, and Z-mount cameras are only compatible with Z-mount lenses.

Cinematic Fast-Aperture Telephoto Prime. This lens’s combination of a 135mm focal length and ultra-fast f/1.8 aperture provides extreme sharpness, consistent edge-to-edge brightness, and stunning, dramatic bokeh that make it an excellent choice for cinematic video, portraiture, still-life photography, and shooting in low light. It’s also great for documentaries, interviews, B-roll, and any other situation in which you want to isolate your subject from the background.

High-Quality Optics. The Nikon 135mm f/1.8’s fourteen-group/sixteen-element optical design features a short-wavelength refractive front element, an aspherical element, and four extra-low dispersion elements to promote sharpness and color rendering while limiting fringing, flare, and color bleeding. Nikon has applied ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings to the elements to combat ghosting and lens flare, even when you’re working in bright or backlit conditions.

Multi-Focus Autofocus System. The multi-focus system uses two separate, synchronized autofocus-drive motors to give you fast, silent, and smooth operation that’s ideal for video and photo applications. You can also manually override the autofocus motor at any time by rotating the programmable control ring, giving you quick fine-tuning ability, while the internal-focusing design means that the lens maintains its length during focusing.

Durable, Weather-Sealed Build. This lens’s durable, moisture-resistant construction means you can use the 135mm in adverse conditions without worry. The exposed elements have a fluorine coating to protect them from debris and smearing. A clickless programmable control ring lets you adjust manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation.
