Native Nikon F mount (Ai-s specification). Serial number 1829091.

Often described as a \"sleeper\" optic, it matches or exceeds much heavier telephoto primes in center sharpness while maintaining an extraordinarily small footprint. Its combination of lightweight portability and beautiful portrait rendering makes it a top choice for modern mirrorless photographers and vintage film shooters alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeywords\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikon Series E 100mm, Nikon 100mm f2.8, Vintage Nikon Portrait Prime, Nikon Ai-s Telephoto, Compact Nikon Lens, Manual Focus Nikkor, Tested Nikon Optics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"valuation-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nikon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56014209155414,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/5213\/1414\/files\/IMGP3734_3029295e-b5b7-449b-9ed4-78478bc64c7c.jpg?v=1792827939","url":"https:\/\/colinscameras.co.uk\/products\/nikon-lens-series-e-100mm","provider":"Colins Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
