Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikkor AI-S (0.6m) - Lens

Manual focus normal lens made for F-mount SLRs by Nikon. This is the North American version of the similar silver-ring 50mm f1.8 Series E lens. It has no bunny ears but has the AI ridge and AI-S indent so it will meter properly on most manual Nikon cameras (excluding F, F2, and Nikkormats) and will work with the advanced program modes of later cameras. Plastic body available in black.

  • Minimum focus distance: 0.6m

Nikon F

Nikon introduced their first SLR, the Nikon F, in 1959. Alongside it they unveiled a series of lenses and a new lens mount that would carry them to professional success for the next decades. To this day, all Nikon DSLRs use the Nikon F mount.

In the beginning, Nikon lenses communicated aperture information to the body using a metal coupling fork, affectionately known as "bunny ears". Soon after, Nikon began using a similar system that automatically told the camera the maximum aperture of the lens. This Automatic Indexing (AI) system stuck around for decades in lenses and is still found on Nikon's high-end professional DSLRs even though new lenses communicate this information electronically.

With only minor compatibility issues (don't use a pre-AI lens on AI bodies or modern digital cameras), Nikon F lenses and bodies are pretty much interchangeable.
