Nikon Unveils the ‘Plena’: Is This the Perfect Bokeh Lens for Portrait Photographers

Nikon's New Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens Promises Optical Excellence and Circular Bokeh

Weighing in at 35.1 ounces (995 grams), the Plena is considerably smaller and lighter than the Noct lens, falling within a similar design and price range as the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.2 S, which is notably more expensive than the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8. Unlike the manual focus-only Noct lens, the Plena offers autofocus capabilities, featuring quiet internal focusing and a minimum focus distance of just 2.7 feet (0.82 meters).
