Condition
Second-hand product inspected by Camera Market. Includes a standard 6-month warranty and 24-48h shipping from Barcelona.
What type of mount does this lens have?
The Nikon Ai-S Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 uses the Nikon F-mount, compatible with Nikon digital and analog SLR cameras that have this mount. It is a manual focus lens, so you will need a camera that supports this type of focusing (or use the camera's focus assist).
Is it suitable for portrait photography?
Yes, it is especially popular for portraits. The 105mm focal length compresses perspective and, combined with the maximum aperture of f/2.5, allows you to blur the background attractively, highlighting the subject. It is a classic and highly valued choice among photographers.
