Collectors Notes:
This lens was Nikon’s response to the earlier 5.8cm f/1.4, offering improved optics and a more standard focal length. Produced from 1962 to 1974, the Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 became a staple for Nikon F system users. Its distinctive rendering and solid metal construction make it a favourite among vintage lens enthusiasts. Non-AI versions are increasingly sought after for adaptation to mirrorless systems and for use with classic Nikon bodies.
