It's heavier than new lenses which use plastic bodies instead of metal. It is only a manual lens; no automatic focus here. It can be linked to modern mirrorless cameras using aperture priority; I use it manually, the way I learned 50 yrs. ago. I use this lens as a prime objective for astrophotography in combination with a night vision device with splendid results, wide open at f:2 and infinity. It is more durable than any lens produced today, with smooth, positive focus. I have used it with a Nikon D7100 and with an adapter for a Fujifilm XT30; both yielding a very pleasant, desired result.

This is a fantastic AI Nikkor lens. Tack sharp, excellent color rendition and contrast. Definitely a prime lens you should own. Bargain priced compared to any of the D or G series lenses. I shoot in manual mode 95% of the time and I really find the older Nikon lenses are a resource any serious photographer needs to explore and enjoy.
