Rent NowThe Vivitar 85-205mm f/3.8 is a manual focus telephoto zoom lens produced for Nikon’s F-mount SLR system. Covering a focal range from 85mm to 205mm with a constant f/3.8 maximum aperture throughout, it addresses a practical telephoto zoom range well suited to portraiture, wildlife, sports, and general longer-reach photography, with the constant aperture maintaining consistent exposure and depth of field characteristics across the entire zoom range. Fully manual operation covers both focus and aperture adjustment directly on the lens. Vivitar was a well-known third-party lens brand active during the film SLR era, producing a wide range of alternative optics across multiple mount systems at accessible price points. Compatible with Nikon F-mount film and digital SLR bodies, and adaptable to mirrorless systems via appropriate F-mount adapters.
