About this product

Product Information

The dynamic NIKKOR 105mm f/1.8 Ai-S is ideal for those who want more control and precision. This version in the Nikon lens series is designed to create sharp, professional-quality images while still being very user-friendly. Its unique specifications make it ideal for portraits or outdoor imagery. Because it has a very wide minimum opening, manual focus is a snap, making it a perfect choice for photographers who are just starting out.A medium-range telephoto, this piece gives you a lot of freedom when deciding exactly what you want in your pictures. The 105mm lens captures the perfect layout in a variety of conditions. Thanks to its extremely low f-stop, it is easy to create stunning depth-of-field even in farther shots. You can pick a face out of a crowd or a single bird on fence posts for a spectacular photo.With a focal length of 105mm, the NIKKOR f/1.8 delivers crystal-clear sharpness. When very close to a subject, it can capture tiny details like pores and hairs, so you won't miss a thing with one of these lenses. The 105mm has extremely high sharpness ratings due to its unique specifications. Thanks to its extraordinary precision at every aperture, your photos will end up crisp and clear every time. This sharpness is retained at every setting, ranging from f/1.8 to f/22.Low lighting conditions are no problem whether you are indoors or outside with this product. Though a flash can add extra sharpness to an image, the NIKKOR 105mm still performs well in dim areas. Even in darker areas, you can still appreciate the sharp clarity of these lenses. This accessory is also extremely fast, so you never have to worry about missing an important shot again.With a full metal body construction, this piece is durable enough for you to carry on the go. The Japanese construction ensures that this lens is top-quality. Weighing just 20 ounces and measuring 3.1 inches around by 3.5 inches long, the lens will feel comfortable in your hands and be easy for you to carry and store. The lens will securely connect to your digital or film Nikon camera thanks to the built-in aperture indexing system. This Nikon equipment uses an auto-indexing system to couple the ring and light meter. The Ai-S allows you to mount this camera gear on both older and newer Nikon SLR cameras. Instead of needing to calibrate the lens after mounting, you just connect it with a simple twist. This ensures that no accidental overexposure will occur.The out-of-focus bokeh produced by these lenses has a uniquely soft appearance that contributes to the photo's composition. When it is wide open, you can get beautifully creamy out-of-focus images. The coated surface reduces flare and eliminates distortion and vignetting. You will not have to worry about unintended filter effects ruining a nicely composed image.

This was my first experience buying a vintage Nikon lens from Japan. Item arrived on time and packed incredibly well! The cost to me was $ 156.00 Can with a $ 23.00 duty charge. The 300mm f/4.5 ais lens was in the pristine condo on as described. Interior lens groups look free of any abnormalities. A nice touch was the handwringing note from the seller thanking me for the purchase and asking me to contact him if I had any issues with the lens. I highly recommend this seller.

    Nikon 105 1.8

    Awesome lens! Sharp and totally awesome. Great alternative for the 105 1.4 for those that have a little extra time to focus when taking portraits. Shooting it on a Sony body worked great and looking forward to using it on my Nikon F3.

    One of the best manual Nikkor lenses - superb for portraits.

    An amazing portrait lens for FX (full-frame) with lovely depth of field control and bokeh. This would also work nicely on DX (crop sensor) cameras, though you need room to fit your subject in the frame (effective focal length of 158mm). I compared this directly to the more-expensive Nikkor 105 f2 DC and found the image quality slightly superior to that lens. I was fortunate to find one of these in fantastic condition and, like most AI and AI-s Nikkors, it simply oozes quality. It's a solid chunk of precision metal and glass, which does make it bulky and rather heavy. It balances well on my D700 body but it may be too much bulk/weight for mirrorless or lightweight bodies, depending on your preferences.

    Nikon Nikkor 105mm f/1.8 lens

    I bought this lens for its one stop increase in speed over my 105mm F/2.5 lens. Images at 1.8 have a little glow in the highlights, but at 2.8 this lens is sharper than my 105mm 2.5 or 105mm 2.8 micro. At f/5.6 and smaller I do not see any image quality difference between these three lenses. A good 1.8 lens can be purchased for about 1/3 the price of a new AF 105mm F/2 DC, but twice as much as a good used 2.5. This lens uses 62mm filters vs the 52mm filter sizes of the 2.5 and 2.8 micro. If the price, filter size and slightly higher weight is not an issue, I would definitely recommend the 1.8 over the 2.5, for the brighter image and shallower depth of field availability of the 1.8. If I am traveling very light, I would probably be taking one of my zoom lenses that covers this focal length, ...

    Brilliant Manual Focus Portrait Lens

    The Nikkor 105mm f/1.8 AIS manual focus lens is a fantastic, specific purpose lens. The lens seems optimized to shoot at wider apertures and produces beautiful out-of-focus bokeh (circles of confusion if you prefer the old-school terminology). I shoot this on a Nikon D700 and the wide minimum aperture makes manual focus natural because of the bright image it produces in the viewfinder. In terms of contrast, this lens is definitely less contrasty than many of the more modern Nikkors, but this works very nicely for portraits. If your purpose is primarily to shoot portraits, you want a fast lens with smooth, creamy bokeh, this is a great buy. As a side note, I'm not the steadiest at hand holding so I finally broke down and purchased a decent monopod for use with this lens. I'm thrilled ...

    Beautiful, hard working lens

    Beautiful lens, full stop. Yes, wide open it shows its weakness, not super sharp on the edges, a drop in contrast, but go to a 2/2.8 split and the thing really starts to look impressive. It is a really nice compliment to the 85mm f1.4 and the 135mm f2. It color matches nicely in the family and has lovely bokeh.
