    Overview

    The Nikon Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S is a classic manual-focus portrait lens known for its sharpness and low vignetting, with good performance wide open and excellent sharpness stopped down. Build quality is all-metal with smooth focus and click-stop aperture. Weaknesses include a 1m minimum focus distance and a long focus throw that can be slow. It suits photographers wanting a compact, affordable telephoto prime for portraits or general use, especially on manual-focus Nikon cameras.
