Product description
Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ lens
The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a motorised power zoom lens for Nikon Z-mount full-frame system cameras, developed specifically for video and hybrid applications. A constant maximum aperture of F4 is available across the entire focal length range from 28 to 135 mm.
Areas of use
Thanks to the internal, electronically controlled zoom drive, the lens is particularly suitable for video productions requiring smooth, jerk-free zooms – such as interviews, documentaries, vlogging or with gimbal systems. The constant maximum aperture of F4 ensures consistent exposure across the entire zoom range.
Functions and features
The optical design consists of 18 elements in 13 groups, including three ED elements, four aspherical elements and one aspherical ED element. A Meso Amorphous coating and a fluorine coating on the front element are designed to reduce reflections and dirt. The internal zoom motor offers eleven speed settings with smooth ease-in/ease-out as well as a Hi-Res Zoom function that electronically extends the focal length directly in the camera with compatible cameras (up to 2x in 4K mode on the Z8/Z9, up to 1.4x on the Z6III). As the first NIKKOR Z lens, it has a physical zoom switch. The focus ring has a module 0.8 gear ring for use with follow-focus systems; autofocus uses a quiet stepping motor (STM) with internal focusing; there is no built-in vibration reduction (VR). A supplied tripod foot allows balanced use on gimbals, and the housing is sealed against dust and splashes. Also included are a rectangular lens hood (HB-116), a lens case (CL-C5) and front and rear lens caps.
Advantages at a glance
The combination of motorised power zoom, constant maximum aperture of F4 and video-oriented features makes the lens a versatile tool for hybrid photographers and videographers within the Nikon Z system.
