MINT condition Nikkor 85 1.4 AIS. This is known to be the best portrait lens, and is great for anything really (especially low light applications). This one is in above execellent condition, and has aperture blades snappy and totally free of oil. The hood I bought separately and I would rate in EX- condition (slightly scratched). It comes with one solid metal hood, snap on lens cap, and back cap. Please no lowballs. I also have a nicely fitted canon ring adapter (for Nikon F to Canon Eos) I will include if wanted, and soon will be selling a 180 2.8 AI and 28 2.0 AIS. Asking $630 shipped for a lens with buttery smooth focusing

Up for sale is my mint condition 28 2.0 AI. The ad title says AIS but this IS the rarer AI version with curved aperture blades. I bought this lens for video and the focus is buttery smooth as with Nikons other MF lenses. Built like a tank. This thing takes amazing photos (they call it the poor mans 28 1.4) with great edge to edge sharpness even when wide open. I also have an 85 1.4 AIs and 180 2.8 Ai for sale. It comes with the hood, backcap, frontcap (not pictured) and for a bit extra I will also include the filter (52mm Hoya pro Multicoated). For anyone desiring to ues this on modern canon EOS cameras I also will include on request a simple (but quite reliable and well made) Nikon to canon ring adapter. Asking $299!!!!

This is the last of the manual focus glass Im willling to part with and this is another excellent example. Along with the 28 2.0 and the 85 1.4 this is known as one of Nikons "magic" lenses, as throughout its long history it has always been a great contender. Ive owned all three versions (AI, AIS, and AF-D) and I can honestly say I dont see any different in image quality between the three. This thing is built like a TANK and has a really nice slide out hood directly on the lens. Probably Nikons most underrated glass. This thing blows the pants off any 80-200 or 70-200 zoom Nikon currently has to offer. I will also include a Nikon F to canon Eos ring adapter on request. Asking $199 shipped for a quick sale!
