Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/3.5 Ai-s Lens

he Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/3.5 AI-S is a compact medium telephoto prime that delivers classic Nikon rendering in a lightweight, all-metal package. Revered for its sharpness, smooth bokeh, and excellent color rendition, this lens is a sleeper hit among portrait photographers and vintage lens enthusiasts. The f/3.5 aperture keeps it compact without sacrificing image quality, making it a great choice for on-the-go shooting or adapting to mirrorless systems.

Designed for Nikon F-mount cameras with full AI-S compatibility, it also pairs beautifully with modern mirrorless bodies via adapters. The long focus throw makes it a pleasure to use for manual focusing, and the built-in retractable hood helps control flare and protect the front element.

While not as fast as the f/2.8 version, the f/3.5 holds its own optically and has developed a cult following thanks to its pleasing tonal transitions and edge-to-edge consistency—even wide open.

Condition: Good

• Small scratches on the front element—may reduce contrast or cause mild flare in strong backlight
• No haze or fungus present
• Focus ring is smooth and well-damped
• Aperture blades are snappy and oil-free
• Some cosmetic wear from regular use, but nothing major
• A great budget-friendly telephoto with classic Nikon optics
