The Nikon Nikkor-S Non-AI 50mm f/1.4 Lens is a classic manual focus prime lens known for its fast aperture and high-quality optics. Designed for Nikon F-mount cameras, this lens is ideal for portrait and low-light photography, offering a shallow depth of field and smooth bokeh.

Allows for excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field, making it ideal for portraits and creative photography.

Fast f/1.4 Aperture

Provides precise control over focus, suitable for both still photography and video applications.

Manual Focus Design

Features a vintage optical formula that delivers unique image characteristics and rendering.

Classic Optical Design

The Nikon Nikkor-S Non-AI 50mm f/1.4 is a **manual focus**, **full-frame** prime lens built for the **Nikon F mount**. With a focal length of **50mm** and a maximum aperture of **f/1.4**, it offers strong light-gathering capability and the ability to work with a shallow depth of field. The lens falls into the standard focal length range, making it adaptable for portraits, street work, and general photography. Focusing is fully **manual**, putting control squarely in the photographer's hands — a quality appreciated by those who enjoy a more deliberate shooting process. The **52mm filter thread** opens up a broad ecosystem of compatible accessories, and the **410g** weight gives the lens a reassuringly solid build. As a Non-AI design, compatibility should be confirmed with your specific Nikon body prior to use. There is **no image stabilization**, so steady technique is important, particularly when shooting wide open in lower light. A genuinely characterful piece of Nikon history.

The f/1.4 maximum aperture allows shooting in low light and produces a shallow depth of field with subject separation.

50mm f/1.4 Aperture

Pre-AI design is compatible with many Nikon F-mount bodies, though buyers should verify metering compatibility with their specific camera.

Non-AI Nikon F Mount

Designed to cover a full-frame image circle, making it suitable for use on both full-frame and APS-C Nikon F-mount bodies.

Full-Frame Coverage

All-manual focus operation gives photographers direct, deliberate control over focusing with no autofocus mechanism.

Manual Focus Only

The 50mm field of view closely matches natural human vision, making it a versatile choice for portraiture, street, and general photography.

Standard 50mm Focal Length

A widely used filter size with broad accessory availability, making it easy to find compatible filters and accessories.

52mm Filter Thread

Represents an early era of Nikkor lens design, with optical rendering characteristics distinct from modern coated lenses.

Vintage Nikon Optics

The all-metal construction gives the lens a substantial, durable feel typical of professional Nikon glass from this period.
