What a lens


My old Nikkor 105 F 2.5 ia an  absolute gem. I bought it in the spring of 1973 along with my first Nikon, the Ftn, This lens has had more work than any other and it still functions. The great thing about the Nikon system is that it is almost obsolescence proof. A 40 years old lens will still work on a modern digital SLR.
