AF DC-NIKKOR 135mm f/2D
Using the same DC (Defocus Image
Control) employed in the 105mm f/2D,
the 135mm focal length offers more
telephoto reach, making it ideal for tight
portraits while providing opportunities
to shoot with a shallow depth of field or
under low light.
Remarkably compact and easy to handle for a fast medium tele-
photo, this lens utilizes NIKKOR’s renowned ED glass to com-
pensate for chromatic aberration and deliver high-contrast clear
images, even at the maximum aperture of f/2.8. A favorite of
astronomical photographers, the lens is also well-suited for close
portraits, short-range sports, theater photography and more.
Meniscus Protective Glass
NIKKOR's exclusive protective glass for lenses comes attached to
the front of fast super-telephoto lenses. Normal flat protective glass
lets incoming light reflect off the surface of the image sensor or film,
especially under a strong light source such as a spotlight. This then
reflects again off the protective glass, resulting in a ghost effect.
NIKKOR's curved meniscus glass dramatically reduces this re-reflected
light, realizing clearer images with less ghosting.
