Up for sale is the legendary Nikkor-P.C 105mm f/2.5 (Serial No. 545345). If you’re looking for that classic "Nikon look" with modern coating technology, this is the version to get. This lens features the updated Xenotar optical design and the "C" (multi-coated) glass, which provides significantly better flare resistance than the earlier versions.
Condition:
• Optics: There is one small, light scratch on the front element. I have tested this lens extensively, and the scratch does not affect image quality or show up in photos, even when stopped down. The glass is clear with no mold, fungus, or haze.
• Cosmetics: The barrel shows some honest "vintage character" with scuffs and scratches on the metal (see photos), but it is structurally sound and built like a tank.
• Mechanics: The focus ring is smooth with just the right amount of resistance. The aperture blades are clean and "snappy" with no oil.
Technical Specs:
• Mount: Nikon F (Non-AI / Pre-AI). Note: This will mount perfectly on Nikon F/F2/Nikkormat bodies or any modern mirrorless camera (Sony, Fujifilm, Nikon Z, etc.) with a simple adapter.
• Aperture: f/2.5 to f/32.
• Filter Size: 52mm.
• Includes: Front lens cap.
Why this lens?
This is widely considered one of the finest lenses Nikon ever produced. It’s the perfect focal length for portraits, offering a beautiful compression and subject separation. Whether you're shooting film on a Nikon F2 or adapting it to a digital rig, this lens punches way above its weight class.
