The Nikon 200mm f/4 Nikkor-Q.C Auto is a manual focus telephoto prime lens built for Nikon’s F-mount SLR system, representing an early pre-AI era Nikkor optic. At 200mm with a constant f/4 maximum aperture, it delivers a dedicated telephoto focal length well suited to portraiture, wildlife, sports, and general longer-reach photography. The Q.C designation refers to the optical formula, indicating a four-element construction with coating applied to the glass elements to reduce flare and improve contrast and color transmission. As a pre-AI lens, it predates Nikon’s AI metering coupling system introduced in 1977, and full metering compatibility on later AI and AI-S bodies may require a physical modification to the aperture ring. Fully manual operation covers both focus and aperture adjustment directly on the lens. Compatible with Nikon F-mount film SLR bodies of the appropriate era, and usable on later Nikon F-mount bodies and mirrorless systems with appropriate consideration of metering compatibility and mount adapters.
