Voigtländer 58mm f1.4 Nokton SL IIs AI-S - Lens

Manual focus normal lens made for F-mount SLR cameras by Voigtländer. Its design, with silver rings and a scalloped focusing ring, is meant to emulate the style of Pre-AI Nikon lenses. It has the bunny ears, the AI ridge, and the AI-S indent so it will meter properly on all manual focus Nikon cameras and will work with the advanced program modes of later cameras. Metal body available in black.

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.
