For sale: a Nikon mid-telephoto zoom lens, a legendary piece of glass. This is a "NEW" model from the late 1970s, boasting groundbreaking image quality for a zoom lens of its time. It's a lens that helped establish Nikon's reputation worldwide. You can still enjoy the characteristic look of an old lens with modern digital SLRs and mirrorless cameras (via adapter). 【Appearance】 • There are minor scuffs and scratches due to age, but no major damage or dents. It's in relatively good condition considering its age. • The rubber on the zoom ring is in good condition, with no stickiness. 【Optics】 • Front element: Clear, with no visible mold or clouding. • Rear element: When viewed in reflected light, there are slight wipe marks (or coating imperfections) on the lens surface. • Internal: There is some minor dust, but I believe it won't significantly affect image quality. • Flare may be more likely in strong backlight, but this is a characteristic of old lenses, and we recommend it for those who appreciate this. 【Operation】 • Aperture blades: No oil stains, and the click action is smooth. • Zoom and focus operation: Operates smoothly with appropriate torque. 【Included Items】 • Lens body • Front cap (Nikon logo) • Rear cap (Nikon logo) • Protective filter (L37c 52mm) Important Notes The mount is "Nikon F mount (Ai)". Please purchase only if you understand that this is a vintage item from nearly half a century ago. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. #Nikon #Nikon #OldLens #Fmount #ZoomLens #FilmCamera
