Product Information

Step up your style and creativity with a Nikon Nikkor 55mm Ai-S lens. This model, which replaced an earlier F mount version in 1977, was the company's very first ultra-speed SLR lens. With a maximum aperture of f/1.2 and a minimum of f/16, this camera accessory is great for low-light photography. It also works well for shots that require a shallow depth of field. If you like taking portraits, then this Nikon product is a good investment. You can get either a soft contrast by keeping the mechanism wide open or a sharp image by stopping down. Although many users prefer settings within the range of f/2.8 and f/8, this prime lens allows you to experiment with more extreme options. You can manipulate and control any spherical aberration or coma that occurs at f/1.2 by simply making a few adjustments. The 55mm model is 2.4 inches in overall length with the extension from the flange measuring 1.95 inches. The lens' diameter is 2.83 inches. These large-diameter SLR lenses from the 1970s are still popular among photography enthusiasts. Since the Nikkor Ai-S variety is compatible with most 35 mm and digital Nikon cameras, it is recognized as a versatile piece of equipment. It works with virtually all manual-focus cameras produced by Nikon, including the original model of the F series that debuted in 1959. Likewise, the modern FM-10 is built to accommodate this unit-focus lens. If barrel distortion becomes a problem, then you can correct it through the use of Photoshop's lens-distortion filter. A hood isn't necessary to prevent ghosts or flare; the f/1.2 automatic indexing lens is well known for its ability to manage light. The model also gives you good bokeh at settings below f/2. Even at f/1.2, the focus can be precise as long as your subject is not moving. By using Live View at its highest magnification, your camera can capture a fine image. The rubberized ring for focusing has a 230-degree rotation for 0.5 meters. Its maximum reproduction ratio is 1:7.3. For the astronomy enthusiast longing to capture the magical night sky, use the 55mm lens's hard infinity focus stop. Once you've turned the ring to this stop, you can leave it there all night and snap picture-perfect images of the stars and planets. The mechanism also has an infrared index on the depth-of-field scale. It is a red dot that is located near the f/4 setting. If you are operating an autofocus Nikon with multiple AF sensors, then the dot in your viewfinder will read from any sensor that you use. The Nikon 55mm is a manual-focus lens that is solid and easy to maneuver. The 14.4-ounce lens is made of metal and glass for durability. The serial number and identity that appear on the front of the device are engraved into the metal and then filled in with paint. The aperture ring lies behind the main barrel and is not readily visible. Because of its scalloped grip, the device has easy accessibility.
