    Overview

    The Nikon Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 non-Ai (I) is a legendary portrait lens renowned for its optical excellence, with resolution that remains impressive even by modern standards. Its build is all-metal and substantial, though some samples may show wear. Weaknesses include stiff focus and aperture rings, and manual focusing is challenging on modern DSLRs without split-prism screens. It suits photographers who appreciate vintage character and are willing to work with fully manual operation, especially for portraiture.
