Nikon Nikkor-S AF 50mm f/1.4 D

Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D is a classic F-mount standard prime with a bright f/1.4 aperture. It is a compact, lightweight normal lens with screw-drive autofocus, so AF speed and noise depend on the camera body rather than the lens itself. On full-frame bodies it gives the familiar natural perspective of a 50mm lens, while on Nikon APS-C cameras it acts like a short telephoto for portraits and general use. The optical formula is from an older generation, so it is valued more for its character, size and low-light capability than for modern edge-to-edge perfection wide open; stopping down improves sharpness and contrast. The lens takes 52mm filters and focuses down to 0.45 m, which is useful for close subject framing without making it a macro lens. It is not weather sealed and does not include stabilisation. Used buyers should check autofocus operation, smooth focus ring movement, aperture diaphragm cleanliness and oil, front and rear element condition, internal haze or fungus, and signs of mount wear or heavy abuse.
