Exclusive Defocus Image Control feature


Using the same unique Defocus Image Control (DC) feature employed in the AF DC-NIKKOR 105mm f/2D, the AF DC-NIKKOR 135mm f/2D offers more telephoto reach. Selectively blur elements in either the foreground or background for more creative control—make your subject stand out from the background, softly defocus foreground elements and more.

Stunning portraits and more
f/2 medium-telephoto performance


With a medium-telephoto 135mm angle-of-view and a fast f/2 maximum aperture, the AF DC-NIKKOR 135mm f/2D is an ideal portrait lens. Its fast maximum aperture delivers beautiful natural background blur (bokeh) and enables dramatic low-light shooting.
