The NIKKOR Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ uses a stepping motor (STM) for speedy and quiet autofocus adjustment, which ideal for on-the-run, documentary-style shooting. Support for linear focus allows users to dial in the exact desired rotation of the focus or control ring for precise focus moves. Focus breathing is highly suppressed, maintaining the angle of view and composition even during extreme focus pulls. The large, ergonomic focus ring benefits precise manual focus adjustments, while the knurled focus and zoom rings are directly compatible with follow-focus accessories.

• An included rectangular lens hood helps reduce unwanted light entering the lens and causing flare, while a filter adjustment window allows for convenient exchanges between circular polarizing and variable ND filters without needing to remove the hood.
• A fluorine coating is applied to the front lens element, so dust, oil, and water are effectively repelled, contributing to its dust- and drip-resistant design.
