One Hour. One Expert. The Right Gear.
Photography in Good Company
Built for photographers who care as much about how the image feels as how sharp it is.
The NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena isn’t just a fast telephoto—it’s a lens designed around rendering. Around smoothness. Around the quiet, immersive quality that happens when the subject is perfectly separated from everything else.
At 135mm with an f/1.8 aperture, this lens creates images with extraordinary subject isolation and remarkably even, circular bokeh from center to edge. It’s a lens that rewards intention—portraits, fashion, performance, and any moment where the emotional weight of the image matters as much as technical perfection.
Why photographers choose the Plena
-
135mm focal length delivers flattering compression and natural perspective for portraits and detail work
-
Ultra-fast f/1.8 aperture enables dramatic subject separation and confident low-light shooting
-
Exceptionally smooth, edge-to-edge bokeh, designed to remain round and consistent across the frame
-
Outstanding sharpness where it matters—on the subject—without harsh or clinical rendering
-
Fast, precise autofocus tuned for reliability and repeatability
-
S-Line build quality, with weather sealing and a balanced, professional feel
Thoughtful details you’ll notice over time
-
Images feel dimensional, not just sharp
-
Backgrounds fall away gently instead of distracting from the subject
-
Encourages slower, more deliberate portrait work—and rewards it generously
Ideal for
Portrait, fashion, and fine-art photographers using Nikon Z cameras who want a signature look lens—one that prioritizes rendering, separation, and emotional presence over convenience or compromise.
