For less than the second time in its historical past, Nikon has given one in every of its lenses a singular title. The primary was the Nikkor Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct, designed for low mild taking pictures. Now now we have the Plena, a portrait-perfect 135mm f/1.8 S lens that will likely be recognized for its skill to create extraordinary bokeh.
In accordance with Nikon, Plena is “derived from the Latin time period plenum, which denotes the state of an area being fully full.”
However what does that imply? First, check out some pattern photographs:
The bokeh is beautiful—offering the proper complement to any portrait.
Nikon explains that, past the attractive, flawlessly rounded bokeh, the brand new lens—with its massive entrance aspect that accommodates an 82mm filter—was designed for edge-to-edge sharpness and brightness, thereby “filling” the body with a photographer’s creativity by excelling at producing all the weather which are essential to images. Perhaps we’re attributing extra to the Plena title than we should always, however the lens sounds intriguing, particularly after viewing pattern photos.
On a extra sensible stage, its 135mm mid-telephoto size will serve portrait photographers nicely, as will its f/1.8 most aperture (its minimal aperture is f/16). The lens has a minimal focus distance of two.69 ft, twin customizable L-Fn buttons and is “mud and drip resistant.”
It’s has some heft to it, although, at 2 lb. 3.1 ounces and measuring 3.9 (most diameter) and 5.5 inches lengthy. And the value is a bit hefty, too, at $2,500, however we’re certain that there are photographers making room for this lens of their digicam baggage and studios.
