Description
The Nikkor-Q Auto 135mm f/2.8 is a manual focus short telephoto from 1965, built in the all-metal style of that period with a smooth, heavily damped focus ring. The four-element Q design is known for its warm rendering and gentle out-of-focus areas, which is why it is still used for portraits. This is a pre-AI lens, so on a modern Nikon body it works in stop-down metering, and it adapts easily to mirrorless cameras.
Shipping
We ship via DHL, EMS, UPS, or other DDU methods. Import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.
Final Message
Thank you very much for viewing this item. Please note that this is a pre-AI (non-Ai) Nikon F-mount lens. It mounts on older Nikon film bodies directly, and on modern Nikon DSLRs it requires stop-down metering or an AI conversion; it also adapts readily to mirrorless cameras. Each item is carefully inspected and securely packed to ensure safe international delivery. We look forward to serving you.
