"By the mid of the '70, virtually all seasoned Nikon photographers would have known there was one hell of a good Nikkor lens at 105mm. Anyway, since the Nikkor 105mm f/1.8s lens was not being introduced until the early '80 and for quite a long spell, the Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 telephoto lens remained as the sole prime telephoto lens offered by Nikon at this focal length. Nevertheless, an equivalent option with different lens configuration was joined in as a special purpose lens, Micro Nikkor 105mm f/4.0 for macrophotography was being introduced in March, 1975. Whatever it is, many Nikon enthusiasts would rate the simple Nikkor f/2.5 telephoto lens as one of the most prized possession among all Nikkor optic and it has, indeed sold very well in number during those day.

Google it and you can see discussions on it in forums all over the world.

Some portrait done with this lens indoors, without flash.



Shot wide open at F2.5.
Bokeh is beautiful, details are all retained.

The AI and AIS difference is on the built in hood and changes in coating, but image wise both are very good. Lens in good condition.
