Classic Manual Focus Design

Ideal for portrait and telephoto photography, offering a natural perspective and compression.

Maximum Aperture of f/3.5

Part of Nikon's high-quality Nikkor-Q series, known for its optical performance and durability.

Nikkor-Q Series

The Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/3.5 Q C NPK is a **135mm** prime lens designed for **full-frame SLR** camera systems, mounting via the **Nikon F** mount. Its fixed **f/3.5** maximum aperture provides a defined telephoto perspective suited to portrait and medium telephoto work. Manual focus is the only focusing method available — there is no autofocus — making this lens best suited to photographers who prefer deliberate, manual shooting workflows. The lens carries a weight of **410g**, keeping it portable without sacrificing the build quality expected of a full-frame telephoto prime. A **52mm** filter thread provides easy access to a broad range of compatible screw-in filters. There is **no image stabilization**, so steady shooting technique is important when handholding at the 135mm focal length. For buyers interested in a dedicated manual telephoto prime on Nikon F-mount bodies, this lens presents a straightforward, spec-verified option.

A fixed telephoto focal length well-suited to portrait, event, and medium telephoto work on both film and digital bodies.

135mm Prime Focal Length

Allows for selective focus and background separation, though most vintage lenses of this design perform sharpest stopped down slightly.

f/3.5 Maximum Aperture

Compatible with a wide range of Nikon F-mount SLR film bodies and modern digital cameras via readily available adapters.

Nikon F Mount

Projects an image circle that covers full-frame sensors and 35mm film without vignetting.

Full-Frame Coverage

Designed for deliberate, hands-on focus control — suited to photographers comfortable with manual focus workflows on film or digital.

Manual Focus Only

A widely supported filter size that makes compatible UV, polarizing, and ND filters easy and affordable to source.

52mm Filter Thread

Built to period Nikkor optical standards, this lens can produce characteristic rendering qualities valued in portrait and documentary work.
