Manual Focus Operation

Allows for excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field effects.

Nikon F-Mount Compatibility

The Nikon Nikkor-Q Non-AI 135mm f/2.8 is a **prime** telephoto lens built for the **Nikon F** mount with **full-frame** coverage. Operating at a fixed **135mm** focal length and a maximum aperture of **f/2.8**, this is a fully **manual focus** lens with no autofocus or image stabilization. Its **730g** weight speaks to the dense, metal-heavy construction that defines this generation of Nikkor optics. The **52mm** filter thread makes it easy to use with standard circular filter systems. The Non-AI designation is a key consideration for buyers — this predates Nikon's AI coupling standard, so metering integration on modern Nikon bodies may be limited or absent depending on the specific camera. For photographers interested in manual telephoto shooting on Nikon F-mount cameras, this lens represents a classic option from Nikon's vintage lineup.

Fixed telephoto focal length with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, giving useful light-gathering capability and subject separation at distance.

135mm f/2.8 Prime

Predates Nikon's Automatic Indexing system, meaning metering coupling is limited or unavailable on most modern Nikon bodies without modification.

Non-AI Nikon F Mount

Image circle designed for full-frame sensors and 35mm film, with no vignetting on compatible bodies.

Full-Frame Coverage

All-manual focus operation with no autofocus, suited to deliberate shooting styles and adapted use on mirrorless systems.

Manual Focus Only

Solid metal build typical of vintage Nikkor optics, contributing to a robust and durable physical form.

Metal-Barrel Construction

Common filter diameter that pairs easily with widely available 52mm filter sets.

52mm Filter Thread

Part of the classic Nikkor-Q optical lineage, known among film and adapted-use shooters for characteristic rendering and solid build quality.
