Nikon NIKKOR-S.C Auto 55mm f/1.2 Non-AI Prime Lens
Made in/ Used in/ Shipping from Japan

"S.C" features the improved coating.

The Nikon NIKKOR-S.C Auto 55mm f/1.2 is one of Nikon’s earliest ultra-fast standard lenses, embodying the bold optical engineering of the pre-AI era. With its impressive f/1.2 aperture, it delivers strong low-light capability along with a distinctly expressive rendering that has made it a favorite among vintage lens enthusiasts.

Wide open, it produces a soft, glowing image with pronounced spherical aberration, giving highlights a dreamy halo and creating a classic, atmospheric look. Stopped down, the lens transitions into much improved sharpness and contrast, offering a versatile range from artistic softness to more conventional clarity.

Characterized by its rich color reproduction and unique bokeh, the 55mm f/1.2 is less about technical perfection and more about visual character and mood, making it especially appealing for portraiture and creative photography. Its solid all-metal construction and smooth manual focus further reinforce its appeal as a true classic of Nikon’s fast lens lineup.
