Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 Converted to Ai

The Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 is a classic short telephoto known for its sharpness, smooth rendering, and beautiful compression. Originally produced as a pre-AI lens, this example has been converted to AI, making it compatible with a wider range of Nikon bodies including the FM, FE, F3, F4, F5, and many Nikon DSLRs that support AI indexing.

At 135mm on 35mm film, this is a go-to focal length for portraits, isolating subjects, and compressed landscapes. The f/2.8 aperture offers solid subject separation while keeping the lens relatively compact compared to faster telephotos.

These lenses are also very popular for adapting to mirrorless systems thanks to their excellent optics and classic Nikon rendering.

Condition: Good

• Optics are in excellent condition
• No haze or fungus observed
• Minor internal dust consistent with age
• Aperture blades are clean and oil-free
• Focus ring operates smoothly
• Fair amount of cosmetic wear on the barrel
• AI conversion has been performed

Cosmetic wear is purely external and does not affect performance. Optically, this lens is in strong shape and ready to shoot.

A great value for anyone looking for a sharp Nikon telephoto with AI compatibility without paying collector-level pricing.
