Engineered to be exceptional, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens is a video workhorse. With optics designed to resolve 8k footage straight from the camera, it opens options for solo video shooters and small crews.

Dedicated Z mount video lens

With its impressive rendering power, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens can resolve high-definition 8K video footage that allows plenty of flexibility to crop in post and output in 4K. The versatile focal-length range handles wide or close-up shots with ease, while the smooth power zoom lets you quickly frame shots on the go. A minimum focus distance of 0.34 m from 28mm to 50mm, and 0.57 m at 135mm, extends your creative options nicely.

Video-specific optical design

The complex optical construction features 18 elements in 13 groups and minimises distortion at any shooting distance. For the best possible anti-reflection performance, Meso Amorphous Coat significantly reduces unwanted ghosting and flare caused by bright light sources. Footage is remarkably clear, even if shooting under strong sunlight or studio lighting.

Intuitive handling for videographers

A yellow ring signifies this is a Z mount video lens, while Nikon’s renowned ergonomics enable comfortable handling. The focus, zoom, and control rings are customisable and different knurling on each lets you identify them without looking. The zoom lever is well positioned for operating the camera at waist or shoulder height, and its textured surface prevents fingers from slipping.

Supports matte boxes and follow focus units

The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens is compatible with a wide range of cages and mounts, and is shaped so that it’s easy to attach a matte box. The focus ring has a gear pitch of 0.8 m so that you can work with standard follow focus systems, while the rectangular hood (included) boasts a filter adjustment window that lets you keep using the 95 mm filters you have.
