Overview:

Capture stunning vintage character with the legendary Nikon NIKKOR-S Auto 50mm f/1.4 Pre-AI lens. Celebrated by film enthusiasts and modern mirrorless videographers alike, this classic prime combines an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture with a robust, all-metal construction built to last generations.

The 7-element optical design delivers a unique vintage rendering, smooth bokeh, and excellent low-light performance. It features the iconic "rabbit ears" metering prong and a long, tactile focus throw perfect for precise manual adjustments.

Note: As a Pre-AI lens, it is ideal for vintage Nikon film bodies (F, F2, Nikkormat) and adapts perfectly to modern mirrorless systems (Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon Z) via mechanical adapters. Unmodified Pre-AI lenses should not be mounted on modern Nikon DSLRs.

Hazel ★★★★★

I've been using this on my mirrorless with an adapter and the vintage look is exactly what I was hoping for—soft, dreamy wide open but sharp enough when stopped down. The build quality feels solid, just like the old Nikkor glass I remember.

Alexander ★★★★★

I've been using this lens on my Sony A7III with an adapter, and the bokeh from the f/1.4 aperture has this creamy, dreamy quality I just can't get from modern glass. The manual focus ring is smooth and precise, making it a joy for street photography.

Evelyn ★★★★★

Shot this on my old F2 and the rendering is exactly that dreamy vintage look I was after. The glass is clean, focus ring turns buttery smooth, and the f/1.4 really opens up those soft backgrounds for video work. Only wish the aperture ring clicked a bit louder, but it's a keeper.
