Extended reach.

The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm lens brings prime lens quality into a highly versatile zoom range, making it an excellent choice for both photography and videography. With a focal range covering 28 to 135mm, it provides the flexibility to capture wide-angle landscapes, detailed portraits, and everything in between. Additionally, when paired with compatible Nikon Z mirrorless cameras utilizing the Hi-Res Zoom feature, the effective zoom range extends up to an impressive 270mm, enabling photographers to get closer to distant subjects without compromising image quality. This combination of range and performance makes it a reliable tool for professional and creative pursuits.

Get closer.

A constant maximum aperture of f/4 and a minimum focus distance of 13.4 inches (0.34 m) allow for dynamic close-ups with beautifully cinematic blurred backgrounds. This combination is perfect for creating stunning visuals, making it an excellent choice for product and commercial videos that demand professional quality and depth.

One-touch zoom.

Switch seamlessly between cinematic wide shots and intimate closeups with the ultimate precision. The customizable rocker-style zoom control empowers you to adapt instantly, offering everything from a quick punch-in for dramatic effect to a smooth, gradual zoom for a more immersive experience. With 11 adjustable speed settings, you have full control to match your creative vision perfectly.

Balanced design.

The internal zoom mechanism of the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens is designed to keep the physical length constant throughout the zooming process. This minimizes any disruption to the balance of the camera setup by maintaining only a slight shift in the center of gravity. Such a feature proves invaluable when the lens is mounted on equipment like gimbals, drones, or robotic heads, ensuring smooth and stable operation even during dynamic movements.

High-performance coatings.

Nikon's proprietary Meso Amorphous Coat sets a new standard in minimizing ghosting and flare, ensuring exceptional clarity and contrast in challenging lighting conditions. Additionally, the fluorine coating on the front element not only repels dust, dirt, and moisture but also makes cleaning the lens quicker and more efficient, providing a reliable solution for outdoor and demanding photography environments.

Autofocus you can trust.

For on-the-run, documentary-style shooting where speed and convenience are key, the STM autofocus motor provides fast, reliable autofocus at every focal length. This ensures that you can capture sharp and accurate images or videos seamlessly, even in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Its quiet operation also makes it ideal for recording situations where minimal noise is essential, allowing you to focus on your subject without distractions.

Precise focus pulling.

Support for linear focus allows you to achieve an unmatched level of accuracy in focus adjustments, catering to professional-grade needs. This feature ensures that users can fine-tune the rotation of the focus or control ring with absolute precision, ideal for both photography and videography applications. The focus ring, designed with an ergonomic texture, enhances comfort and usability, making manual focus adjustments seamless and highly responsive. Additionally, the knurled design of the focus and zoom rings provides direct compatibility with follow-focus accessories, allowing for smooth integration into professional shooting setups.

Change focus, not framing.

Focus breathing is highly suppressed, so even during extreme focus pulls, your angle of view won't change. This feature is particularly advantageous for videographers and filmmakers who require consistent framing throughout dynamic focus adjustments. By minimizing the subtle zoom effect often caused by focus breathing, the quality of the shot remains professional and visually seamless, ensuring an immersive viewing experience.

Pull focus by touch.

The Save and Recall Focus feature in select Nikon Z mirrorless cameras allows photographers to work with unparalleled efficiency and precision. By using this innovative function, you can pre-program a specific focus point and instantly return to it with the press of a button. This capability is particularly useful in dynamic shooting scenarios, such as sports, wildlife, or event photography, where capturing fleeting moments with accuracy is critical. The feature ensures seamless transitions and reduces the need for manual focus adjustments, letting you focus on capturing the perfect shot.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Madison ★★★★★

Went from a 24-70mm f4 to this 28-135mm, and the extra reach for tight portraits is fantastic. Sharpness in the center is impressive even wide open, and that constant max aperture makes exposure adjustments a breeze on the fly.

Violet V. ★★★★★

The power zoom is buttery smooth, which made pulling focus during a client shoot feel almost effortless. I’m honestly impressed that a zoom this range keeps edge-to-edge sharpness at f/4, even wide open.

Jason W. ★★★★★

I've been shooting handheld video with this lens all week, and the constant f/4 aperture means I never have to worry about exposure shifts while zooming. The power zoom is quiet and precise, which is a game-changer for run-and-gun filming.
