Up for sale is a fantastic CLAed example of a legendary pancake-style standard prime lens by Nikon, the Series E 50mm f/1.8.

This lens took the already legendary optics of Nikon's standard 50mm f/1.8 lens and shrunk it into an extremely low profile "pancake" design, creating a lens that is incredibly portable while still maintaining fantastic sharpness, rendition, and color.



This particular example is in excellent vintage condition with light handling wear, excellent mechanics, and glass free of scratches/haze/fungus.

This lens features the Nikon Ai-S F mount which can be used natively on Nikon film SLRs and a various Nikon DSLRs (without modification. If you are unsure whether it will work on your camera, please feel free to contact me for guidance.

It also can easily be adapted for manual use on most other popular DSLR, and mirrorless formats with an inexpensive adapter ring (sold separately, see chart below for digital compatibility).
