Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Ai-S
Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Ai-S is a compact manual-focus macro lens with classic Nikon F fit and 1:2 close-up capability. Built in the all-metal Ai-S style, it has a well-damped focus throw that makes precise work easy, especially for copy, product and detail photography. Optically it is known for very good sharpness and flat-field rendering at close distances, with the 55mm focal length giving a natural perspective on full-frame cameras and a comfortable working distance compared with shorter macros. It is manual aperture and manual focus only, so it suits photographers who value deliberate control over speed, and it can also be used as a general-purpose 55mm prime. Used buyers should check that the focus helicoid turns smoothly without stiffness or wobble, that the aperture blades are clean and snappy, and that the optics are free from haze, fungus, separation and excessive cleaning marks. Also inspect the mount and aperture coupling parts for wear, and confirm that the lens reaches infinity and close focus correctly.
