Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-135MM F/4 PZ

Designed to be exceptional, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a video professional. With optics designed to shoot 8K movies in-camera, it offers a wealth of options for videographers working alone or with small teams.

Special video lens with Z mount
With its impressive level of precision, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ supports high-resolution 8K video footage, providing flexibility for post-production cropping and 4K output. The versatile focal length range easily handles wide and close-up shots, while the smooth power zoom allows for fast framing, even on the move. A minimum focusing distance of 0.34 m (1.1 ft.) at 28-50 mm and 0.57 m (1.9 ft.) at 135 mm greatly expands your creative possibilities.

Video-Specific Optical Design
The complex optical design features 18 elements in 13 groups and minimizes distortion at any shooting distance. To deliver the highest anti-reflection performance, the meso-amorphous coating significantly reduces unwanted ghosting and flare caused by bright light sources. Shots are razor-sharp, even in bright sunlight or under studio lighting.

Intuitive Operation for Videographers
A yellow ring indicates that this is a Z-mount video lens, while Nikon’s renowned ergonomics ensure a comfortable grip. The focus, zoom, and control rings are customizable, and their different dials let you identify them without looking at them. The zoom lever is well-positioned for use at hip or shoulder height, and its textured surface prevents fingers from slipping.

Supports matte boxes and follow focus units
Compatible with a wide range of cages and supports, the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens is designed to make it easy to attach a matte box. The focusing ring has a modular 0.8 pitch so you can use standard follow focus systems. And the included rectangular lens hood has a filter adjustment window so you can continue to use your 95mm filters.
