Key Specifications & Handling
- Mount Type: Nikon F-mount (full-frame FX and film compatible).
- Autofocus: Screw-drive AF system (requires a camera body with an internal AF motor, such as D7xxx or D8xx series; manual focus only on entry-level D3xxx/D5xxx bodies).
- Optical Design: 6 elements in 5 groups.
- Filter Thread: 52mm.
- Weight: ~160g to 210g depending on the exact sub-version (Made in Japan vs. China).
- Aperture Ring: Mechanical control ring allowing manual adjustments and compatibility with older film SLRs.
the MKII version came in minor regional sub-variations (MIJ, NJ, and MIC) with identical optical performance. Users note that it lacks the "D" chip present in the later MKIII (50mm f/1.8D) variant, meaning it does not transmit focus distance data back to the camera body for advanced flash metering.
