105mm f2.8 AIS Micro Nikkor
In April of 1984, with onset serial number 182001, Nikon introduced its arguably best "portrait/micro" to that date. It had "floating element" CRC (Close Range Correction), 9 elements arranged in 8 groups (Nikon erroneously reported the formula of this lens as a (10/9) 10 elements in 9 groups which has resulted in incorrect reports of this lens that persist even to this date.) weighs 515 grams and takes 52mm filters/attachments. The lens focuses to 1:2 with out attachments and takes a PN-11 extension ring to take it all the way to 1:0.88. Some recommend the use of a well corrected optical extender over the extension ring optionb to maintain optimal optical corrections but the additional glass surfaces bring the expense of lowered contrast already suffering with a total of ten elements.
Women are known to hate this lens for portraits for its amazing sharpness which brings out every skin flaw and error in make-up application.

Usable but has mechanical, optical and cosmetic issues as indicated in individual descriptions Issues as indicated in individual descriptions Very significant conditions as indicated in individual descriptions.
