Description:

The Nikkor-S Auto 50mm F1.4 (non-AI) is one of Nikon’s iconic fast standard lenses from the pre-AI era, produced under the Nippon Kogaku name. With its bright f/1.4 aperture, this lens excels in low light and offers a shallow depth of field for creative control. Its optical rendering delivers classic vintage character—smooth bokeh, slightly soft wide open, and sharp when stopped down.

The build quality is superb, with an all-metal construction typical of the era. While this lens is non-AI, it can be used on many Nikon film cameras (like the F, F2, Nikkormat) and some digital models with manual exposure and stop-down metering (check compatibility before use). It's a favorite among collectors, film shooters, and those who love classic Nikon glass.
