Introdiced in Nikon offical contents, NIKKOR - The Thousand and One Nights No.44.

The Nikon NIKKOR-S Auto 50mm f/1.4 Non-AI (single-coated) is an early version of Nikon’s fast standard lens, representing the pre-multi-coating era of NIKKOR optics. Without the later S.C multi-coating, it exhibits a more pronounced classic vintage rendering, with lower contrast and a tendency toward flare under strong light—qualities often appreciated for their atmospheric, film-era character.

At f/1.4, the lens produces a soft, glowing image with gentle contrast, making it particularly appealing for portraits and artistic work. Highlights can bloom slightly, creating a distinctive look that differs clearly from later, more corrected designs. When stopped down, sharpness and contrast improve significantly, offering greater clarity while still retaining a subtle classic tone.

With its solid all-metal construction and smooth manual focus, it delivers a traditional shooting experience typical of early Nikon lenses. This version is especially valued by collectors and photographers seeking an authentic, uncorrected vintage rendering.
