Nikon's premium S-line 135mm f/1.8 portrait prime — nicknamed 'Plena' for its extraordinary bokeh rendering.
The Nikon Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena launched in 2023 as Nikon's ultimate portrait lens, earning the 'Plena' moniker — Latin for 'full' — for its perfectly round, cat's-eye-free bokeh across the entire frame. It is the first Nikon lens to carry a proper name since the Noct.
Optically extraordinary — designed specifically for beautiful bokeh with zero cat's-eye effect even at the frame edges. Tack-sharp from f/1.8 with gorgeous subject rendering. Silky Smooth VR for stable viewfinder image. Dual stepping motor AF is lightning fast.
Nikon Z mount with 82mm filter thread. Weighs 995g. Full S-line weather sealing. 11 rounded aperture blades. Minimum focus distance 82cm. ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings. OLED information display on barrel. Customisable control ring and L-Fn button.
Available used at professional to luxury prices — strong demand keeps values high. The 'Plena' designation and cat's-eye-free bokeh are genuine innovations. The Sony 135mm f/1.8 GM is the main rival. For portrait and wedding photographers who demand the ultimate rendering quality.
