Pre-Owned - Nikon 200-600mm f/9.5-10.5 Nikkor Super Zoom
The Nikkor 20cm-60cm (200-600mm) f/9.5-10.5 is a historic, pioneering manual-focus super-telephoto zoom lens introduced by Nikon in 1961 for the Nikon F system. It was one of the world's earliest telephoto zoom lenses designed for 35mm SLR cameras.
Because it is a vintage item highly sought after by collectors rather than modern sports or wildlife photographers, most available units are found used on specialized marketplaces. Historical & Design Key Facts:
• Pioneering Optics: Launched just two years after the revolutionary Nikon F camera body, it offered unprecedented reach for its era. Only 1,598 units of the original version were produced between 1961 and 1970.
• Physical Build: True to its era, it is incredibly heavy (about 5.5 lbs) and long (over 21 inches with the shade). It features a combined push-pull mechanism for zooming and rotating for focusing.
