Here we have a lens that's a legend in the vintage photo world. This Nikon Nikkor is one of the most famous and well respected classic Nikon lenses of all time, the Nikkor 105mm F/2.5 AI converted fast portrait lens.

This example is in excellent condition cosmetically and is mechanically perfect. It is the AI mount version of the 105mm lens, which means it's usable on nearly every Nikon SLR and comes with a rear lens cap.

The lens elements are clean, with balsam separation, cleaning marks, or abrasions. However the lens did at one point have very minor fungus which has been cleaned away, leaving some minor markings. The aperture is free of oil and super-responsive, with blades that snap fast and accurately. The aperture ring clicks nicely into its detents, and the focus ring rotates with exceptional smoothness. Filter threads and mount are in perfect condition. There may be minor dust specs commensurate with age, but these are infinitely small and do not impact image quality.

The Nikkor 105 F/2.5 has been used to capture an unfathomable number of amazing images over the decades, among which are some truly famous images.

Please see our review of this amazing lens here.

The Nikkor 105mm F/2.5 is one of the most incredible portrait lenses around. Shooting wide open, it creates some of the most pleasant bokeh you'll ever find. Stopping it down results in unbelievably sharp images.

This version will natively mount to any F Mount Nikon camera that does not use in-body camera lens controls. Additionally it will work on all of today's mirror-less cameras with an adapter. If you would like a link to the appropriate adapter for your camera, simply contact me and I will happily provide one.

This lens will be packaged securely and shipped immediately.
