This Nikkor 105mm lens has been modified by Duclos Lenses via their Cine-Mod™process making them more useable for motion picture applications. The Cine-Mod consist of three primary parts: A seamless 32-pitch (0.8 module) focus gear, an 80mm front ring with 77mm filter threads, and a de-clicked, damped aperture movement. This lens has both Nikon and EF mount options.

The 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor lens was one of those which earned for Nikon its excellent reputation for optical quality and reliability back in the early 1950s. Many professional photographers still regard this lens as among the finest medium telephoto lenses ever made.
