Is this lens compatible with my Nikon digital camera?
The lens has a Nikon FX mount, originally designed for 35mm film cameras. On Nikon digital cameras with F mount, it can be used in manual mode, but note that it has no electronic contacts, so aperture and focus control will be fully manual. Exact compatibility depends on your camera model; we recommend consulting the manufacturer's manual.
What type of photography is suitable for this lens?
It is a 135mm telephoto lens with f/2.8 aperture, ideal for portraits, nature photography, and distant details. Its fast aperture allows background blur and working in low light conditions, and its minimum focusing distance of 1.5 meters is suitable for subjects at medium distance.
Is the focus automatic or manual?
It is a manual focus lens. It has no autofocus motor, so you will need to adjust focus by turning the ring. Many photographers appreciate this tactile experience and the precise control it offers, especially on a tripod or with static subjects.
