Full-frame power zoom lens
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is a full-frame power zoom lens built for professional videographers and photographers. It covers the most-used focal lengths from 28mm wide-angle to 135mm telephoto in a single optic. The lens suits corporate video, documentary, live event and wedding work where changing lenses mid-shoot is impractical.
Constant aperture through the range
A fixed f/4 aperture holds exposure and depth of field steady while zooming, avoiding the brightness shifts common on variable-aperture zooms. The 4.8x zoom ratio is driven by a customizable rocker control with 11 speed settings for smooth transitions between establishing shots and close-ups. Minimum focus distance is 13.4 inches (0.34 meters), allowing tight framing with blurred backgrounds.
Hi-Res Zoom extends reach to 270mm
When paired with compatible Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, the Hi-Res Zoom feature extends the effective focal length seamlessly up to 270mm equivalent without cropping resolution. This single specification determines whether the lens covers the telephoto demands of a given production. Optical construction uses 18 elements in 13 groups, including ED and aspherical elements, to control aberrations across the extended range.

Questions about this item
How much power does the NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ draw when the power zoom runs continuously?
The lens draws power from the Nikon Z camera body through the mount; the internal power-zoom motor operates on that supply and has 11 selectable speed settings.
Which camera bodies must I already own to use the power zoom and Hi-Res Zoom on this lens?
A Nikon Z-mount mirrorless camera is required; Hi-Res Zoom extends the reach to 270mm equivalent only on compatible Z bodies.
Will the 28-135mm f/4 PZ focus and zoom smoothly on my older Z6 when I keep it as a second body?
Yes, the lens mounts natively on any Z-series body; the stepping motor and 11-speed rocker zoom work identically, and Hi-Res Zoom extends to 270mm equivalent on compatible models.
