Samples

The following images were taken with the Nikon Z 135mm f1.8 S Plena lens mounted on a 45MP Nikon Z8 body. The images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 12.5/CRAW 15.5 to Adobe Color profile, with the lens profile compensating CA, distortions, and vignetting. Noise Reduction=OFF, sharpening=50/0.5/36/10. With a few images I applied exposure compensation plus some extra tone, color, or saturation adjustment to produce more pleasing images which are closer to what one would normally do when processing RAW files. All of the images below were shot at f1.8 to demonstrate how well the Plena makes excellent sharpness and creamy Bokeh go together in different situations.

The individual exposure details are stated for each image. All of the images are available in their original high resolution format for analysis at my Nikon Z 135mm f1.8 S Plena sample images at Flickr.
