You're right the Series E is about as long as to where the aluminum
ring is. But it is very sharp lens, I don't think it equals this one in bokeh,
though. |

I should test it again for the bokeh. It's a long time I don't handle one.
One thing sure about the 50mm Nikkors is, they are all good, with the exception of the AF version of the 1.4

The Series E is flatter (more flat? more flattened? what is the correct expression?). Also Series E is single coated, but apart from this, I suspect it could be a different lens scheme, because it has much less depth. |
In English I would have to say "it renders a flatter image". Is that what you're looking for?

Chris,
I'm pretty sure Orio is talking about physical appearance, not capabilities.
It is a shorter lens making a lower profile on the camera.
Thankyougoodnight.  |

OK... I was just guessing after all. Just that I don't think this lens as all that flat. I have both the AF 50/1.8 and MF 50/1.4... and see it's no longer than the Tamron Adaptall 2 28/2.5. If you really want pancake, get the Nikkor 45/2.8 P. Now, that's a PANCAKE LENS...

Chris, do you have the 45/2.8P? That is supposed to be one sh*t-hot
lens! |

 You had to remind me that it's not in my collect yet, didn't you!!! 
Yep... everything I've read speaks highly of it. It's on my wish list. Always have my eyes open for "right place, right time".
