Nikon Nikkor-C 80-200mm f/4.5 (Auto) Zoom Lens – Non-AI
The Nikon Nikkor-C 80-200mm f/4.5 (Auto) is a classic, manual-focus telephoto zoom lens from Nikon's early zoom era, featuring durable all-metal construction and a compact design. As a Non-AI (Pre-AI) lens, it is best suited for vintage Nikon F-mount film cameras, offering smooth operation and timeless image quality.
This “Auto” designation refers to Nikon’s original automatic diaphragm mechanism, allowing the aperture to remain wide open during focusing and then stop down to the selected setting at the moment of exposure — a key feature for easier manual focusing. The lens maintains a constant f/4.5 aperture throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for portraits, travel, and outdoor photography.
Equipped with Nikon’s early multi-coating (“C”), the lens offers improved contrast and reduced flare, even by today’s standards. Zoom and focus rings operate smoothly, making this a joy to use for film enthusiasts and collectors.
