    Overview

    The Nikon Nikkor-P 105mm f/2.5 non-Ai (II) is a legendary manual-focus portrait lens known for excellent sharpness even wide open and beautiful bokeh. OpticalLimits confirms high resolution by modern standards, with well-controlled distortion and vignetting. Build quality is solid all-metal, though some samples show stiffer rings. It requires conversion for most modern DSLRs and manual focusing can be challenging without a split-prism screen. Best suited for portrait photographers who appreciate vintage character and are comfortable with fully manual operation.
