Nikon's 28-135mm f/4 power zoom built for video production.
The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ covers the focal range that video shooters actually use, wide enough at 28mm for establishing shots, tight enough at 135mm for interview close-ups, all at a constant f/4. The power zoom drive is the defining feature here. Unlike manual zooms that introduce subtle camera shake during a pull, the motorized mechanism moves at a controlled, repeatable rate, which keeps footage clean when you're running solo or need to match a programmed move across multiple takes.
The 95mm filter thread is worth noting before you buy in: glass at that diameter costs more, and existing filter kits may not cover it. That's the trade-off for full-frame coverage across this entire range without vignetting.
For documentary work, wedding cinematography, corporate productions, or live event coverage, this lens collapses the gear list. One lens, autofocus, power zoom, and a focal range that handles nearly every shot type in a run-and-gun environment. That kind of operational simplicity has real value on jobs where swapping glass isn't an option.
Who It's For
Solo video operators doing documentary or corporate work benefit most from the power zoom, which lets one person execute a smooth focal pull without a second pair of hands on the barrel. Wedding cinematographers get a single lens that handles ceremony wide shots at 28mm and reception detail coverage at 135mm. Live event crews working in tight venues appreciate the constant f/4 aperture, which keeps exposure consistent as they zoom. Studio video teams who need repeatable zoom moves across multiple takes will find the motorized drive far more reliable than manual operation.

FAQ
- What makes the power zoom useful for video work?
- The motorized zoom drive moves at a controlled, repeatable rate without the subtle camera shake that comes from manual zoom pulls, keeping footage clean during single-operator runs or when matching a move across multiple takes.
- What's the filter thread size and why does it matter?
- The 95mm filter thread is larger than standard kits typically cover, so you'll need to source or upgrade glass at that diameter, which costs more than common 67mm or 77mm sizes.
- Does this lens work with autofocus?
- Yes, autofocus is built in across the full focal range.
- What focal lengths does this cover?
- 28mm to 135mm, which handles establishing shots at the wide end and interview close-ups at the long end without swapping lenses.
- Is this a full-frame lens?
- Yes, it covers the full-frame format without vignetting across the entire range.
- What's the maximum aperture?
- f/4 throughout the entire zoom range.
- What mount does this use?
- Nikon Z mount.
