Thom's Commentary: The 28-135mm f/4 PZ is Nikon’s first full frame video centric lens. The PZ stands for power zoom. This lens is more designed for run-and-gun camcorder style use that broadcasters do than it is for Hollywood-style videographers, as it’s lacking mechanical coupling that the RED type user probably would want.
