Nikon's classic manual-focus 50mm f/1.4 — the gold standard Ai-S normal prime for film Nikon shooters.

The Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai-S is a manual-focus standard prime for Nikon F-mount, produced since approximately 1981. Seven elements in 6 groups. Seven aperture blades. 52mm filter thread. At 246g. 0.45m MFD. Manual focus only — the Ai-S designation indicates mechanical aperture coupling with no autofocus motor.

The optical design uses 7 elements in 6 groups. Seven aperture blades. The 52mm filter thread. At 246g the lens is lightweight. Minimum focus distance of 0.45m. Manual focus only — Ai-S designation indicates no AF motor. f/1.4 maximum aperture. Full-frame coverage (FX and DX).

The Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai-S is a long-production classic: the design dates to 1981 and remains in Nikon's catalogue as a manual-focus option. The Ai-S coupling allows accurate aperture control on Nikon bodies with Program AE and Shutter-priority AE modes (Ai-S lenses provide linear aperture response for electronic control). The 7/6 formula is the same optical design used in the AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D.

On the used market the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai-S is affordable as a manual-focus Nikon standard prime. Condition checks: manual focus ring smoothness, aperture blade condition (oil is common), 52mm front element for marks. Manual focus only. Compatible with all Nikon F-mount FX and DX bodies.
