For Sale: Nikon Nikkor P 105mm f/2.5 Converted AI. Full label: Nikkor P Auto 1:2.5 f=10.5cm Nippon Kogaku Japan. Serial # 156504. Lens body is used but good condition. A previous owner etched out the "Nikkor". Focus is mostly smooth (although somewhat gritty at the minimum focus distance), and aperture clicks distinctly at each stop. Originally a non-AI lens, converted to AI by John White. No obvious scratches on front or rear elements (needs a cleaning though). There's a normal amount of dust inside given its age, and no fungus that I can see. Does not include any lens caps. I've compared some sample shots with a later AI version I also own, and image quality is identical. Note that the rectangular white reflections on the glass are from my flash.

Asking $100 shipped or best offer. Shipping to continental US only. If no interest in a week or two I'll put it up on ebay.
