It must be a nice lens. I have a much earlier version Nikkor H Auto and I love it. The only thing I don't like is the minimum focus distance of 60 cm. Later versions focus down to 40cm.

I was focussing on the winter morning dew dripping off the stamen onto the pink petals.

There's pre-AI and AI version of the lens, both 6 element in 4 groups (so not a Tessar design). But I don't think there's an AI-S version.
I should use mine more.

This lens is stunning!
Here's a crop at full resolution. Sorry about how I cropped this but thanks to this website I have started selling my photographs and I need to be careful with what I display on the internet.
Yes it's in mid flight!
Attila you have a top site!

Tiny camouflaged spiders wait on the petals for the perfect moment to pounce. (Yes I even nabbed a few shots of these spiders with the Minolta Rokkor MC 50mm f1.4.

I have similar picture here... But it is not a Nikon lens and I had extension tube, I think 25 something... It is taken with one of my two favorite 50mm lenses.
and one slightly overexposed, but I like it...

This lens is superb.
I can't post the images right now but click through to my blog
http://www.parabellumfoto.com/roughened-silver-orb-spider-catching-breakfast/
That's macro but I just had the lens on my camera. No extension tube needed!
From memory I cropped the image a little. Otherwise it's straight out of the camera!

No extension tubes used. This shoot took a lot of time to make but when focus was correctly made it resolved the image exceptionally.
One sharp lens!

The bayonet mount or the focussing? Nikon focussing direction is the same as Pentax - for me it's my Minolta lenses that
focus the "wrong" way. Nikon's bayonet mount seems very strange, though!

Thanks OH,
I have been sick so I haven't been doing much. Something inside me said 'get up and go and take pictures.' I don't know why but I did and a come across a wild Lorikeet that's almost at eye level. Most of the time these parrots fly away when you get too close. This one and two of his buddies in another tree were showing off to me. I don't know why.
Yes it's the one lens that has been glued to my camera since I got it but that's changing as I get more decent lenses. This one is still hard to beat. I reckon it's a very overlooked lens because of the faster 50mm lenses available. I have done some research and this is one of Nikon's very first lens designs.
I'm definitely going to buy a second copy that's in better condition than my current copy but for now my worn out copy does the job (excellently).

Interestingly, of all the old cheap 50mm nikkor f1.8(2.0) AIS what is the most artistic ? I found almost no information. According to the table (http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html) there were many different versions. Like as early 50/2 planar praise and "elongated" (not pancakes) AIS version. Who can say anything ?

This is an outstanding lens and the marketplace has started to discover it. Prices for Nikkor 2/50's are about the same as Nikkor 1.4/50's at the moment, and for good reason.
A classic for sure

The title of this thread is incorrect. There's no AI-S version of Nikkor 50mm Æ’/2, only 4 versions in Nikon F mount:

* AI
Two Samples:
AI version, DSC_5373 by Brian Zhou, on Flickr

That's right but I'm not asking only about version 2.0 but also about its follower 1.8, which as written is the best possible.

The next monday I will take off the post office, my new lens:
Mikkor 50/2 H. And, because of what I had read here, and in others places too, it's a great lens
I have a Nikkor 50/1,8 AIS- Perhaps the F/2 should have more sharpness and better colors. |
