Nikon 50mm F1.2 Ai-s Lens in excellent condition. 


This all metal construction lens produces stunning results. Ken Rockwell rates it as Nikon's sharpest ever lens at F2 and at the pinnacle of mechanical quality.


This lens is in great condition and shows very small signs of usage. The glass is perfect, clear and blemish free, no haze, scratches or signs of separation. The blades are oil free and the aperture ring is snappy and tight.


The Ais lens allows the lens to be used with all Nikon F Mount cameras both digital and film. The quality of the glass of these older lens is unsurpassed and they are becoming very popular with Micro 4/3rds camera owners.


The lens comes with the original Nikon front and back caps and with a very rare 55m F1.2 lens hood (perfect for this lens and worth over £75 if sold separately).



About me:


I am a documentary photographer and you can see my work on my website www.jeremyrata.com. I am also a collector of photography equipment and classic cars. Many of the items I have for sale are little used as I have several different systems so all my equipment is lightly used and accurately described. My main equipment for commercial and documentary shoots in Nikon and Leica respectively which I seldom sell. 


All of my equipment is kept securely in my study in perfect dry conditions. I take care of my equipment and am fastidious in maintaining and cleaning it. I do not treat any of my equipment carelessly. Whilst some items will inevitably show signs of usage which will be highlighted in the listing, all of it has been cared for as you would hope it to be and I have several items for sale please look up 'other items'. I am prepared to sell combined items with reduced postage should you want to buy other items. 



International Buyers please note:


Import duties and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyers responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs may be before bidding/buying. Please be clear International purchasers will need to pay shipping charges. (see postage details below) 


Please do not ask me to put incorrect details on the shipping insurance to lower importation costs.
