Nikon Nikkor-H Auto 50mm f/2 - Nikon F Mount

The Nikkor-H Auto 50mm f/2 is a classic manual focus prime from the pre-Ai era. Known for its robust all-metal construction and six-element optical design, it offers a distinct vintage rendering with excellent central sharpness when stopped down. This lens features the older 'scalloped' focus ring and requires a non-Ai compatible camera or a converted mount for use on modern digital bodies. Prospective buyers should note that this is a non-Ai lens; attempting to mount it on most modern Nikon DSLRs can damage the camera's aperture coupling lever. SDS inspects these lenses for stiff focus grease, which often dries out over decades, and checks for internal dust or cleaning marks on the front element.
