Nikon NIKKOR MF AI-s 135mm f/3.5 Non-Ai Lens

Fantastic quality for little money!

The first thing that strikes one about this lens is the build quality. It's made of metal, unlike most of the plastiky new lenses you get today. It feels lovely to the touch: everything moves with precision. It's 35 years old, but it feels like it will last another 35!

It's also quite small and light, which makes it ideal for travel. It's short enough to fit into an SLR camera carry case mounted to the camera.

The next surprise is the image quality. I'm using it on a Nikon D7200. It works great in Aperture priority mode and the results are staggering! It's pin sharp at f/3.5 and it just gets better until about f/16.

Outstanding piece of kit. 5 StarsRead full review

Great portrait lens.

Not sure how many stars to give this lens. It is not a Leica or Zeiss, but it sure if sharp and contrasty. I could not give it 5, so I settled on 4 stars. But I like it and you should definitely consider getting one, if you need this focal length.Read full review

Great lens

I found this via KenRockwell's website. This lens may be old, but it is quite sharp and as you can see from my humming bird photo taken on a D700 body....it's quite nice!

Price is not equal value

If you can find this lens cheap you will not be disappointed. And by cheap I mean compared to the price of any modern day 135mm prime. You get everything you need out of this lens, color, contrast, sharpness. Sharpness however is solely dependent on you're ability to manual focus. But once you've hit the mark it's beautiful.

If you find one at a low price is great condition snatch it up.Read full review

Legacy lenses by NIkkor have micro contrast that is not found in modern lenses. Micro contrast gives a photograph that 3D look missing in modern lens
