Nikon Zoom-Nikkor C Auto 80–200mm f/4.5 (SN: 177076)
A vintage Nikon F-mount zoom lens with constant aperture and solid manual construction.

The Zoom-Nikkor C Auto 80–200mm f/4.5 is a classic manual focus telephoto zoom lens from the 1970s, built for Nikon F-mount SLRs. The “C” designation refers to its multicoated (coated) optics, which reduce flare and improve contrast. With a constant f/4.5 aperture across the zoom range and a one-touch zoom/focus design, it was a go-to lens for photographers seeking flexibility and image quality in a single lens.

This lens covers everything from portraits to sports and nature photography, and it adapts well to modern mirrorless systems with the proper adapter.
