The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ - A milestone for videographers
Today we are pleased to introduce the first full-frame Z lens designed specifically for video and aimed particularly at small production teams and solo filmmakers.

The new NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is predestined for high-resolution 8K video footage straight out of the camera and is light enough for handheld filming. An exceptional lens that is a milestone for videographers using Nikon Z full-frame cameras such as the Z9 and Z8.

With servo zoom control and a weight of only 1210g (including tripod adapter ring), it is a compact, well-balanced and reliable video lens suitable for gimbal or handheld filming, especially for videographers who want to work with minimal equipment.

The video-specific optical design is ideal for high-resolution 8K video footage, offering plenty of flexibility when cropping in post-production and outputting in 4K. Nikon's high-performance glass and optical coatings ensure remarkably clear shots from any distance - even in bright sunlight or in the studio.

A yellow ring indicates that this power zoom is a Z-bayonet video Lens that is compatible with a wide range of professional video accessories, such as matte boxes and follow focus systems.

Key features for videographers include Ease-in/Ease-out (eliminating the need for an external motorized zoom) and 11 different zoom speeds that can be assigned to the zoom switch on the Lens. Position recording and recall make it possible to recompose between shots, linear manual focusing ensures accurate, repeatable results and the direction of the focus and zoom rings can be reversed. Remote control of the Lens is also possible and it is sealed against dust and moisture.

Dirk Jasper, Product Manager, Nikon Europe says: "We are committed to making the Z-System an optimal solution for content creators at all levels. Nikon's first professional video Lens for Z-mount cameras is an exciting step forward. This is a video lens you can rely on for optimal results when time, budget or other constraints prevent reshoots."
