Nikon Nikkor Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ zoom lens officially released, available for pre-order


As already reported, the Nikon Nikkor Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ zoom cinema lens is now officially released:

  • Pre-orders: 
  • US: Adorama | B&H Photo | Service Photo
  • CA: Camera Canada
  • UK: WEX
  • DE: Erhardt | Koch | Calumet
    • One touch zoom. Switch from a sweeping establishing shot to a powerful closeup in a snap with a customizable
      rocker-style zoom control. Quick punch-in or smooth, slow zoom—with 11 speed options.¹
    • Constant maximum aperture. Maximum aperture of f/4 and minimum focus distance of 0.34m² allows
      for dynamic closeups with cinematic blurred backgrounds.
    • Balanced design. The internal zoom mechanism ensures that the physical length of the lens stays constant during
      zooming, with only a tiny change to the center of gravity.³—essential for mounting on gimbals, drones and
      robotic heads.
    • Autofocus you can trust. When speed and convenience are key, the STM autofocus motor provides fast, reliable
      autofocus at every focal length.
    • Precise focus pulling. Support for linear focus allows you to dial in the exact desired rotation of the focus or
      control ring for absolute precision; while the large, ergonomically-textured focus ring makes precise manual focus
      adjustment easy. Knurled focus and zoom rings are directly compatible with follow-focus accessories

1 Supported by Z9, Z8 and Z6III.
2 Minimum focus distance of 0.34m is achieved between 28–50mm.
3 Maximum center of gravity shift between 28mm and 135mm is approx. 2mm.
