WOW! So, after some excellent, friendly help from Ken Rockwell @ kenrockwell.com
Turns out it is from the late 80’s early 90’s. so, one would rightly expect a full frame 35mm?
Initially there was some thoughts it was a current lens, but it being FX and not having a “D”, it was identified.

This is a phenomenal lens to play with. the depth of field using the zoom is fun to play with, but the results from a macro, handheld! I am gob-smacked. granted a Nikon D610 witht he right settings helps, sure, but the optics of this lens.
Clarity is what I seek.
I can see I will have a lot of work for this lens. I love shooting flowers and macro, so this is ideal. As a AU$110 lens from Ebay, ex Japan, I can definitely not complain.
Again thanks to Ken @ kenrockwell.com for the help identifying the lens.
Well, the excitement builds, I bought myself a new lens.
Nikon AF 35-105mm f 3.5-4.5, so portrait shots and landscapes will be a new treat. Oh, it also does one of my favorites, Macro. And with the brilliant f-stop range, I get brilliant Bokeh.
The Bokeh is brilliant.The ever best doggo ever – Bear Dog.
So, as you can see, the possibilities are getting closer to endless.
My next lens, which will be very expensive, is a Nikon AF 14-24mm lens. Will cost me ~$2000, so some saving will be needed. one day.
