Nikkor-P 105mm 2.5

Impressions: This 105mm is one of my latest acquisitions.  Even so it has already seen a lot of duty.   The weight and build quality of this lens conveys a sense of seriousness.   My specific Nikkor-P lens uses Sonnar design with 5 elements 3 groups optical.   Even though the lens barrel on my lens was not perfect, the glass looked to be in very good shape.  I got very very luck to buy this lens for $41.

This lens also features a very nice long throw focus mechanism.   The images pop into focus effortlessly.  Many use this lens for torso shots.  You can also use it to shoot headshots but you need to get friendly with your subjects.

My specific lens does not close all the way down to f32 like some later Nikkor 105s but still is perfectly fine for shooting inanimate objects (Books are shot at f16 and fruit bowl at f2.8)

Mod:   No modifications are necessary to mount this lens on a Canon 5DII.
