Nikon’s Nikkor Z 135mm F1.8 S ‘Plena’ is the company’s second Z-mount lens with a unique moniker, which seems to suggest they think it’s something special. Nikon has described the lens as a must-have light-gathering beast for photographers, one which minimizes vignetting with clean edge-to-edge brightness, has exceptional clarity and sharpness for fine details, hair and skin tones, as well as minimizes cat’s eye bokeh to produce round specular highlights throughout the frame.

DPReview’s Shaminder Dulai gets some hands-on time with a pre-production version of the new mid-telephoto portrait prime to see how those claims measure up in our latest episode of DPRTV.

After the video, learn more about the ‘Plena’ and peruse some out-of-camera JPEG sample images.
