Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ Lens Overview
Power Zoom for Cinematic Precision
The Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a full-frame standard zoom lens designed for hybrid creators and videographers. Featuring a motorized power zoom mechanism with 11 selectable speeds, it enables smooth, organic transitions ideal for professional video production.
Flexible View Span & Fine Glasswork
Stretching from 28mm to 135mm, this lens offers nimbleness from broad sceneries to far-off frames. Its inner build holds 18 glass bits in 13 clusters, with 3 ED, 1 aspherical ED, and 4 aspherical forms, wrapped in Nikon’s clever Meso Amorphous and fluorine layers to tame flare and stray glow.
Swift Focus & Gentle Breathing
Driven by a stepping gear (STM), the lens grants hushed, swift focus moves. It's tuned to hush focus breathing—keeping your frame steady during pull-focus, a must for smooth storytelling on film.
Rig-Ready & Far-Off Friendly
With zoom tucked inside, balance stays true on gimbals and frames. It welcomes remote zoom taming through NX Tether, SnapBridge, or NX Field, and offers handy L-Fn buttons you can shape to your liking.
Close Focus & Macro Capability
With a minimum focus distance, the lens allows for dynamic close-ups and semi-macro shots across the zoom range.
Design & Accessories
Weighing approximately 1,120g (without tripod collar), the lens includes a rectangular filter adjustment window, a 95mm front filter thread. It’s built with dust- and drip-resistance for reliable field use.
Ideal For
Perfect for filmmakers, documentarians, and solo creators seeking a single lens solution for 8K video, dynamic zooming, and professional-grade control. It’s a game-changer for Nikon Z-mount video workflows.
