Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 Ai Lens

The Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 AI is a fast, compact telephoto prime built for portraiture, stage photography, and candid moments where a bit of reach and subject isolation are key. With its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and legendary Nikon color rendering, it’s a favorite among film shooters and mirrorless adapters alike for its ability to produce creamy bokeh and sharp, contrasty images.

The AI version of this lens features full compatibility with Nikon F-mount film cameras that support aperture indexing, and it adapts beautifully to modern mirrorless systems via simple mechanical adapters. The built-in retractable hood helps reduce flare and ghosting in backlit scenes, and the long manual focus throw makes it especially nice to use for video or precise portrait work.

Condition: Good

• Some internal dust visible, typical for its age

• Aperture ring clicks properly and blades are free of oil
• Cosmetic wear consistent with normal use, no dents or cracks
