I had the chance to see the newly announced Nikon 28-135mm F4 power zoom lens in person the other day!
I’m really looking forward to pairing it with the Z9/Z8 as it’s just the right size…
The robot arm exhibited last year also had a more aggressive move, and I’m amazed at the progress that technology has made in the past year… #InterBEE2024 pic.twitter.com/BW71fKanPD

Nikon’s booth (4401) was new to InterBEE. This lens is of course the focus of video users. It supports linear, and has a triple ring operation with rotation direction and angle settings. The zoom ring speed is satisfactory, but it is a bit tough for ENG.
This lens shows Nikon’s seriousness about video. The body was Z9. #InterBEE2024 #nikon pic.twitter.com/A9MATP6DoH— GAIPRO. (@gaiprotter) November 13, 2024
