Sigma AF-α (Alpha) 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5 – Vintage Autofocus Zoom Lens for Nikon Full Frame A fascinating vintage Sigma autofocus zoom lens from the mid-1980s, representing an interesting period in the development of autofocus photography. Condition: Very Good Mount: Nikon F-mount with mechanical screw-drive autofocus, suitable for compatible Nikon full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras.

Fully tested: Tested on a Nikon D750, where it performed great and produced beautiful photographs with a distinctive vintage character. Cosmetic condition: Very good overall, with no obvious flaws. Important Note About the Push-Pull Mechanism The zoom mechanism feels smooth and operates well. However, due to the weight of the lens barrel, it can slide down when pointed downwards or extend when pointed upwards. The exact reason is uncertain; this may be related to the original design or wear developed over time. Please consider this characteristic before purchasing.
