Introduced when zoom lenses were still something of a novelty, the 43-86mm became one of Nikon’s early attempts at making a compact, practical standard zoom for everyday photography. Today it’s a fun piece of vintage Nikkor glass, particularly for shooters who enjoy older optics with rendering that feels distinctly different from modern zooms.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 43-86mm range covers everything from a slightly wide normal perspective through short telephoto, while the \u003cstrong\u003econstant f\/3.5 maximum aperture\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps operation consistent throughout the zoom range. It makes a particularly fun companion for classic Nikon F-mount bodies and can also be adapted to modern mirrorless cameras when you want some unmistakably old-school glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not the lens you buy because you want clinically perfect modern rendering. You buy it because you want a compact vintage Nikon zoom with plenty of character and a neat place in the history of the F-mount system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: EXCELLENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lens is in excellent overall condition with only normal minor signs of age and use. There is \u003cstrong\u003esome internal dust present\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the optics otherwise present nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe focusing helicoid is \u003cstrong\u003ea hair stiff\/tougher than ideal\u003c\/strong\u003e, though focusing remains fully functional.
