 Item updated in the last 24 hours    Nikon 50mm 1.8 AIS manual focus lens Japanese pancake



Wanted

Payment method: PayPal
Item condition: 10 Preowned equipment, but appears as new


The Japan only lens serial number starts with the number 2
No dust, clicky Aperture ring, smooth focus
Recent CLA moves to the front of the line

To clarify, this is the version that was produced between 1980-82 for the Japanese market only. It can be identified by the fact that it has MFD of 0.45m (all other 50 pancakes are 0.6m), serial number starts with a 2 (not 3 or 4), and is full metal construction for the barrel. It is not the regular AI-S version (plastic barrel, MFD 0.6m), nor the Series E, nor the AI so-called long nose 50/1.8.

get the e-series version instead, which has more flaws, and that means your images can have more "soul".
