Nikon Nikkor-S.C Auto 50mm f/1.4 - Nikon F Mount

The Nikkor-S.C Auto 50mm f/1.4 is a vintage fast prime lens, notable for its 'S.C' designation which indicates the early use of Nikon's multi-coating technology. This coating helps to reduce flare and improve light transmission compared to the earlier single-coated versions. It features the classic 'Pre-Ai' metal construction and a bright f/1.4 aperture, providing narrow depth of field and good low-light performance. As a Pre-Ai lens, ensure it is compatible with your camera body or has been appropriately modified. Common wear points include the focus helicoid grease becoming stiff and the presence of oil on the aperture blades. SDS performs a thorough optical check for haze or delamination and ensures the aperture mechanism is snappy and free from lag.
