The Nikon Nikkor Non-AI 55mm f/3.5 Micro Lens is a vintage macro lens designed for close-up photography. Renowned for its sharpness and compact design, it is ideal for capturing detailed images of small subjects. This lens features a manual focus mechanism and a robust build, making it a favorite among collectors and photography enthusiasts.

Designed for close-up photography, this lens provides excellent sharpness and detail for macro subjects.

Macro Focusing Capability

Offers precise control over focus, suitable for creative and detailed photography.

Manual Focus Operation

Easy to handle and carry, making it convenient for on-the-go photography.

Compact and Lightweight Design

The Nikon Nikkor Non-AI 55mm f/3.5 Micro is a **prime macro lens** built around the **Nikon F mount** with **full-frame format** coverage. Its fixed **55mm focal length** places it in the standard range, while its **macro type** designation makes it a dedicated tool for close-up photography. Operating at a maximum aperture of **f/3.5**, it requires thoughtful exposure management, particularly in lower-light situations. All focusing is **manual**, with no autofocus system present, which encourages a measured and deliberate shooting approach well-suited to macro work. The **52mm filter thread** provides easy access to a wide range of compatible accessories. Tipping the scales at just **220 grams**, the lens is impressively light and unobtrusive. As a **Non-AI** design, buyers working with modern digital bodies should carefully check metering compatibility before purchase, as this lens predates Nikon's AI coupling system. It remains a compelling choice for Nikon F mount film shooters and collectors seeking a vintage manual-focus macro lens.

A fixed 55mm focal length in the standard range, usable for both close-up macro work and everyday general-purpose photography.

55mm Macro Prime

Achieves half life-size reproduction natively, with full 1:1 life-size available when paired with the dedicated PK-13 extension ring.

1:2 Macro Capability

A moderate maximum aperture that balances light transmission with a compact, lightweight optical design.

f/3.5 Maximum Aperture

Fully manual focus operation suits the slow, deliberate approach that close-up and macro photography typically demands.

Manual Focus Only

Predates Nikon's Automatic Maximum Aperture indexing system, so compatibility and metering support on modern bodies should be confirmed before purchase.

Non-AI Nikon F Mount

Designed to cover the full 35mm frame, making it compatible with both full-frame film bodies and compatible digital Nikon F mount cameras.

Full-Frame Coverage

At 220g, this lens adds minimal weight to the camera system, reducing fatigue during extended close-up shooting sessions.

Lightweight Build

A widely adopted filter diameter that makes it easy and affordable to source compatible filters and accessories.
