Blown away by the Plena

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.

Hoya Nxt plus filters

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.

Beautiful lens and excellent buying experience

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.

Best lens in my bag now

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.

135mm Plena - Bokeh King

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.

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.

NKZ13518

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.

NKZ13518

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/1.8.

NKZ13518

Pure color and sharp edges

Advanced SR and ED glass lens elements produce bokeh free of onion rings and color fringing.

Astonishing precision and clarity

Point light, totally on-point

NKZ13518

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.

NKZ13518

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.

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.

NKZ13518

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.
