Nikon - NIKKOR Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Telephoto for Z Mount Cameras - Black

[Employee of bestbuy] This is the best lens which i owned. And my go to lens. Very good bokeh

This 135mm f/1.8 prime lens is nothing short of exceptional. The ultra-bright f/1.8 aperture creates a mesmerizing depth of field, rendering portraits with creamy bokeh that makes subjects pop from their backgrounds with almost three-dimensional quality. The optical performance is stellar even wide open, with tack-sharp focus in the center and minimal vignetting at the corners. For portrait photographers, the combination of focal length and aperture creates an ideal compression effect while maintaining subject separation that's simply beautiful. What really sets this lens apart is its versatility - while it excels at portraiture, it's equally capable as a medium telephoto for events or even indoor sports where the bright aperture helps capture action in challenging light. The build quality matches its optical excellence, with weather sealing and smooth focus ring operation that makes manual focusing a joy.

This is a fantastic portrait lens in the Nikon lens universe. It is undoubtedly the King of Bokeh and extremely sharp at f/1.8 aperture. It's a little heavy but the picture quality greatly outweighs the inconvenience of carrying it. I am using this lens for portraits, using it more than my Z 85mm f/1.8 lens. I am also using it for landscape photography.

So easy to make amazing boka and make the subject stand out. Feels great on my z8 look forward to shooting with this lense more!

Fast, round bokeh bubbles. Excellent 3D separation. The lens is worth every penny.
