| Product Information | Dating back to the 1960's, the Nikon NIKKOR 105mm f / 2.5 lens is a popular mid-telephoto range and portrait lens with a reputation for producing sharp images without significant color or light distortion. Available in F-mount and auto-indexing mounts, this manual focus lens works with most Nikon cameras. The seven-bladed diaphragm stops down to f/22, making it an excellent option for capturing detailed images with a blurred background, while the f / 2.5 aperture setting allows enough light in for use in low-light settings. A 52mm filter protects the item from dirt and moisture, so photographers do not have to worry about damaging the lens while outside.It has instantly become a clear favorite of most good Nikon camera photographers usually have a 105mm telephoto lens in their equipment inventory. The 105mm focal length comes midway between those of 85mm and 135mm and thus, it was very appealing for all round usage during those days. Naturally, the superlative image quality was also one of the main reasons that contributes to its widespread popularity. Compared with normal lenses, this has a focal length about twice as long and a picture angle about half as wide. This enables the photographer to take pictures in a more natural perspective, an important factor for photography such as portraiture, a popular topic among amateur photographers.The 105 mm f/2.5 Nikkor has been the lenses preferred by a lot of portrait photographers since the release of the first 105m f/2.5 for the Nikon F mount in 1959. The 105mm(10.5CM) lenses actually date further back, all the way back to Nikon's rangefinder cameras in 1953. From the serial number on the Nikkor-P Auto 105mm f/2.5 Pre-AI it dates between 1966-71. The Construction is made up of 5 elements in 3 groups with a 35mm picture angle. The minimum focus distance is 1.2m/3.5 feet with a filter size of 52mm. The size is measured at 66mm in diameter by 78mm in length or 1-19/32 inches by 3-1/16 inches. The weight is 435 grams or 15.3 ounces with six straight blades.Nikon has provided not just a single unit, but two Nikkor lenses at this focal length to photographers, a 10.5cm f/2.5 Nikkor-P and 10.5cm f/4.0 Nikkor-T. The optical design of 5 elements in 3 group used in the 10.5cm f/2.5 Nikkor-P was carried forward from the rangefinder days in a revised F-bayonet mount. However, it was not until in 1971-1973, the lens was finally went through a major revision to its optical design where the existing 5 elements in 4 group was used for the first time. On the other hand, the slower speed 10.5cm f/4.0 Nikkor-T was very rare in number because it was only being marketed after the Nikon F was introduced.
