EL Nikkor 105mm F5.6N

Stylish and casual, the new era of the Mountain EL Nikkor 105mm F5.6N. Even though it is a new era, the product was released in 1980.

Nikon Z cameras are extremely compatible with industrial Nikkor lenses. With the advent of the Nikon Z, I have a lot more opportunities to bring out this kind of lens. Above all, it looks dramatically better.

As a reference for all worldwide Nikkor lens collectors, I will show you a complete set of lens in perfect condition.

The lens cap just sits on top of the lens. Early caps did not have the Nikon logo. Later caps have the Nikon logo on them. There are two types of sponge cushions: round and square.
