CONDITION: USED - EXCELLENT
No fungus and no haze in the optics. Being an older lens there is some very fine dust, but the previous owner confirmed nothing shows in images even shot at minimum aperture. The barrel and mount have small scuffs and marks from normal use, but no prominent scratches or dents. The aperture blades are free of oil and move smoothly, and the focus and aperture rings have an excellent feel - neither too light nor too heavy. Kept in a dry cabinet.
Nikon Ai Nikkor 50mm f/1.4S Manual Focus Lens
The Ai-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 is one of the true staples of the Nikon system - a fast, all-metal manual-focus standard prime that was in production for close to forty years. It is prized today not for clinical perfection but for its character: wide open it shows the spherical aberration, colour fringing and vignetting of a classic design, and stopping down brings it to crisp, contrasty sharpness. A genuinely enjoyable lens to shoot with.
Key Features
- Fast f/1.4 aperture: Excellent low-light capability and strong subject separation.
- Classic rendering: Distinct character wide open, becoming crisp and contrasty stopped down.
- All-metal Ai-S build: Precise, weighted manual focus feel that modern lenses rarely match.
- Compact: Approximately 255 g and only 42mm long.
- Wide compatibility: Ai-S coupling works on Ai-compatible Nikon bodies and adapts easily to mirrorless systems.
- Full-frame coverage: A standard 50mm on FX, or a 75mm equivalent short portrait lens on DX.
