Nikon also made a 105 f/4.0 lens head with the F mount for bellows from 1969 to 1975, with aperture values in 1/3 stops, same as the 135 f/4.0 rangefinder bellows lens head.
My 105 f/4.0 AI (Serial Number 200862), without the focus lock, pretty much lives on my F5 full time.
Edit: On page 199, Peter Braczko mistakenly says the AI version, beginning with serial number 186956, can be identified by the focus lock screw.
You mean to say that it is the AIS that has the locking screw. You are right, Braczko made many mistakes with numbers, his task was too difficult to keep track of. He also says that the AIS version begins with serial number 232001, but I have an AIS lens #223259, so he may have meant to write 223001.
