Nikon's ultra-fast 55mm f/1.2 from 1965, extraordinary speed with dreamy wide-open character for artistic portraiture.

The Nikon Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 is one of the fastest lenses Nikon produced for the F-mount, providing an extraordinary f/1.2 maximum aperture at the slightly-longer-than-standard 55mm focal length. The extreme speed creates razor-thin depth of field and exceptional low-light capability from this 1965 design.

At f/1.2, the lens produces images with a distinctive character — soft glow and ethereal rendering wide open that transitions to excellent sharpness by f/4. The 55mm perspective is slightly tighter than standard 50mm, providing a marginally more flattering portrait compression. The speed was extraordinary for its era.

Build quality is premium Nikon with substantial all-metal construction housing the large-diameter optical elements. The Non-AI mount limits direct compatibility to pre-1977 Nikon bodies, though AI conversion is possible. The smooth focusing helicoid is essential for precise work at f/1.2.

The Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 commands premium prices on the used market as one of Nikon's rarest and fastest vintage lenses. The extreme aperture and unique rendering character make it sought after by portrait photographers and vintage lens enthusiasts who value speed and optical character.
