A new visual experience.Beauty that reaches every corner.Take your artistry to the edge with the NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena, a 135mm prime unlike any before it. Astonishing edge-to-edge clarity. Dreamlike circular bokeh. A focal length treasured for portraits, still life, cinema and landscapes. All with superlative craftsmanship and performance optimized for wide-open shots. Plentiful. Abundant. Extraordinary. This is the Plena.Groundbreaking peripheral illumination.The NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena's innovative design delivers more light to the edges and corners of the frame across the entire aperture range-uniform brightness that invites viewers to explore every inch of your creation.Wide open without vignetting.With so much light reaching the corners of your frame, you won't have to stop down your aperture to prevent vignetting-it's already minimized by design.A lens only Nikon could create.The extra-wide diameter of Nikon's Z mount allows for a larger curved rear element that projects light evenly across a full-frame image sensor.Exquisite foreground and background bokeh.Add spectacular drama and style to your photos and videos with large, round bokeh that spreads across the entire frame, right to the edges.Smooth, natural gradation.Sharp details melt away into dreamlike orbs that gracefully envelop the focal plane.Stunning without stopping down.An 11-rounded-blade aperture gives the bokeh its beautiful near-circular shape even at its widest setting of f/1.8Pure color and sharp edges.Advanced SR and ED glass lens elements produce bokeh free of onion rings and color fringing.Astonishing precision and clarity.Combine soft shallow depth of field with breathtaking high resolution. The delicate textures of skin and hair are meticulously rendered with lifelike nuance, free from chromatic aberrations.Point light, totally on-point.City lights and stars are captured with refined brilliance across the entire frame, giving nighttime photos and videos an unparalleled level of clarity.Cut through the glare and flare.Nikon's most advanced anti-reflective coatings, Meso Amorphous Coat and ARNEO Coat, are combined to overcome the harshest light coming from multiple directions.Fast, accurate and near-silent autofocus.Nikon's Multi-Focus System uses dual STM stepping motors moving in sync for enhanced precision, especially when shooting wide open. The ultra-fast system also operates in near-silence, so you can track moving subjects without mechanical noises or vibrations.Add a new dimension to your footage.With smooth, responsive, quiet handling and a manageable 995 g total weight, the NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena can bring extraordinary depth and richness to your 8K and 4K footage.Smooth, precise focus pulls with minimal breathing.Linear focus is available in either rotation direction when using compatible Z series cameras, and your framing remains remarkably consistent even when moving focus from the foreground to the background.Power aperture makes it easy to maintain your lighting.Use the clickless control ring or your camera's Fn1 and Fn2 buttons to smoothly, steplessly open and close the aperture, allowing you quickly to respond to lighting changes beyond the reach of Auto ISO.An S-Line NIKKOR Z lens.At the top of the NIKKOR Z lineup are special lenses developed in pursuit of a higher level of optical performance-lenses that push the boundaries of traditional design, meet a higher standard of quality and enable new forms of image creation.82mm filter ring.Use a wide range of readily available filters.Smooth manual focus ring.Can be set to either rotation direction, linear or non-linear.Assignable Fn button.Carefully placed for easy reach during vertical or horizontal shooting.Clickless control ring.Smooth and precise. Can be assigned to control aperture, ISO, exposure compensation and more.Engraved name.A sophisticated touch befitting this one-of-a-kind lens.Premium weather sealing.Extensively sealed against dust and moisture.TechnologyAspherical LensA lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.ARNEO CoatAn anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon and used in conjunction with Nano Crystal Coat to further reduce ghost and flare effects caused by incident light entering the lens vertically. This allows for the outstandingly clear capture of images even when a light source is located within the frame.ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) GlassAn optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.Stepping MotorNIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.Short-Wavelength Refractive LensSR is a high- and specialized-dispersion glass lens that refracts light with wavelengths shorter than that of blue. By controlling short-wavelength light, the lens is able to achieve highly precise chromatic aberration compensation so that the colors in your images are more accurately reproduced. It also allows for more flexible optical designs, which allows for compact, lighter lenses to be designed.Meso Amorphous CoatMeso Amorphous Coat realizes the highest anti-reflection performance in NIKKOR history. Meso Amorphous Coat provides an effect superior to that of Nano Crystal Coat for diagonal incident light, and an effect equivalent or superior to ARNEO Coat for vertical incident light. With its superb performance, ghost and flare caused by incident light from various directions are noticeably reduced, delivering clear images even under harsh conditions.With this coating system, amorphous particles, that are even smaller than nano particles, are utilized to create even more gaps within the coating to form an ultra-fine mesoporous structure, attaining a lower refractive index. In addition, a higher-precision base coat is employed to further enhance the anti-reflection effect.A/MA/M stands for Auto-Priority Manual Mode. This mode also enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation. However, mode switch sensitivity has been altered to reduce the possibility of sudden unintentional switching to manual focus while shooting.IF LensA NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.Electromagnetic Diaphragm MechanismAn electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.

This lens... while pricey, is incredible. Worth the price in all aspects. Super fast/accurate (paired with the z8) and the bokeh and DOF is great. It is so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Blown away by the Plena

Amazing lens and it deserves the name Plena

Nikor Z plena

I Bought the Nikkor Z 135 mm Plena lens which is amazing, i have no complaints but i bought it as a bundle with Hoya Nxt Plus filters, Where as one of the UV filter was missing in original package , Another major problem with Hoya Nxt plus 82 mm filters are it being stuck to the lens 6 out of 10 occasions i used, i should go with other magnetic filter systems.

Hoya Nxt plus filters

There are no doubts about the best portrait lens that Nikon has ever built.
However for me Adorama delivers all the time. With accumulated points and super fast shipping, will not hesitate to do business with Adorama again. 

Simply the best.

Beautiful lens and excellent buying experience

This Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena lens is incredible. All of my lenses are S lenses but this one is a major step above. I love the fast focus and ability to really fade the background without vignette on the edges. It's a great addition to my bag.

Best lens in my bag now

Fast 135mm - at f1.8 depth of field is extremely shallow and the bokeh superb. Colors are highly saturated with excellent contrast implying great control of internal reflections. Beautiful images.

 The only thing that contends it is the 135mm f2 DC lenses for the F mount cameras. The plena  is easier to use and more intuitive. The DC lenses gave a shallower depth of field that f2 normally provides but had to be adjusted manually (which was a pain). The Plena is a 1.8 so it's naturally shallow. It's just a better lens.

I really like the purchase.

135mm Plena - Bokeh King

Quick focusing, super sharp, great bokeh, it's the sharpest lens in my bag.

The best lens I've ever owned.

Just a wonderful lens. Very happy with the results I'm getting and nothing to critique. A gem!

Fantastic lens

Best lens I've ever shot with. Quick auto-focus, great colors, beautiful bokeh.

Premium results for a premium price

Amazing lens.
Best bokeh ever.
Replaced 70-200 for all portraits.
Perfect match for Z8 and/or Zfc!  Wonderful balance with both.
Beautiful images at all f stops.
