Nikon IX-Nikkor 60-180mm f/4.5-5.6 - Nikon IX Mount

The Nikon IX-Nikkor 60-180mm f/4.5-5.6 is a telephoto zoom lens designed specifically for the Nikon Pronea APS film SLR system. It features a compact design and a versatile zoom range equivalent to approximately 75-225mm in 35mm terms. Please note that this lens uses the IX-Nikkor mount, which has a protruding rear element. It is not compatible with standard Nikon F-mount digital or film SLRs, as the rear element can damage the mirror or sensor. Because of its specific compatibility, it is vital to check the rear shroud and glass for damage. SDS ensures the zoom and focus rings operate smoothly, as these lenses were built with a higher proportion of plastic to save weight. The internal optics are checked for dust and haze. Buyers must verify they are using a Pronea body before purchasing, as the lens cannot be safely mounted or adapted to standard Nikon DSLRs.
