Our editorial take on the Nikon 10.5cm (105mm) f/2.5 Nikkor-P (Misprinted NIKKOP-P) (Red R) Nippon Kogaku Japan Lens for Rangefinder, Black/Chrome

The Nikon 10.5cm f/2.5 Nikkor-P is a vintage rangefinder lens from Nippon Kogaku Japan, notable for its manufacturing misprint ("NIKKOP-P" instead of "Nikkor-P") and red R marking. This 105mm fast telephoto was designed for Nikon's early rangefinder systems and represents a piece of mid-century optical engineering. At f/2.5, it offered portrait and low-light capability uncommon in its era.

As a legacy optic, it appeals to collectors and film rangefinder shooters seeking period-correct glass or distinctive vintage character. The excellent condition grade and 52mm filter thread make it a practical user lens for compatible Nikon rangefinder bodies. At $399, it sits in the collectible rangefinder lens market where condition, rarity, and historical quirks (like the misprint) drive value. This is a niche product for enthusiasts who appreciate Nikon's rangefinder heritage rather than modern digital shooters.

Best for: Film rangefinder shooters and Nikon collectors seeking a rare misprinted 105mm f/2.5 telephoto in excellent condition.
