    I will add as the previous owner of this glass:
    - went like a whale for Nikkormat ft2.
    - used by me without alterations on Nikon D90
    - left at the price of UAH 1300, now I even regret it)

    Thanks to Arkady for the review.

    Thanks for your review! I read you often, but I rarely comment. But he could not pass by this glass. A very nice picture is obtained with this lens. Voluminous, lively, natural ... there are many epithets :) The constructive, too, is worthy of many words of praise. Lying around at my house, idle, exactly the same fifty dollars. Perfect, in your own case! I was determined to push him at the auction, who will give how much. Now I'm thinking, maybe it's better to buy Nikon D40 :)

      If you like the picture, it is better to file the corresponding keys on the mount with a file and calmly photograph on any Nikon DSLR.

      just do not have to cut anything, this is a mockery of such a lens. I can buy, if that.

        Mockery is not using such a wonderful thing for its intended purpose. The lens is well made and its “life” is at work. It is very difficult or even impossible to find a branded ring for modernization, but rewriting with due accuracy is a trifling matter.

        Ai conversion is calmly done and use on any Nikon DSLR. I did it on Nikor 105mm 2.5, I use it and I am not happy

    On the e-bay, even with 6 blades, there is no aperture, about 9 you don’t even have to stutter.

    Only, after all, not “the first standard lens of the company”, but the first standard lens for the Nikon F system, do not forget that Nikon had quite successful rangefinders and an optics system for them before.

    Usually manual fifty dollars buy for shooting video, or for creative or artistic design. True, often "artistic" ideas among amateur photographers end in photographs in which 90% of the frame is in the blur zone (blurred background). (C) They said right to the point)))))

      Do not rejoice. In this review, a third of the photos are just with this parameter. And nothing, it looks, albeit 90%.

      no.
      Fifties (including manual ones) are bought only for filming in the pavilion (for example, for documents) - when the apparatus is on a tripod and the chair is in the same place.
      Newbies often buy themselves "fifty dollars" just like that - but this is ordinary marketing that hits inexperienced brains of newbies (this goes away with experience)

    He draws beautifully. The "old man" did not hit his face in the dirt. A very, very good picture! I already wanted to buy it. Maybe someone knows and will tell you where these are sold?

      I have just such a lens - Nikon Nippon Kogaku NIKKOR-H Auto 50mm F2 from JAPAN. I got it in perfect condition, absolutely clean lenses, no scuffs, no dust, the diaphragm works clearly, does not stick, excellent sharpness. I can sell you if you want. I sell now just through Avito and Nikon Club.

    … Ethno weird little "glass". The very fact of such a venerable age. However, there is more to it than just age. There are some amazing things about this lens that you would not expect from such an “old man”. Arkady mentioned them. Embodies the philosophy of the Nikon era))) It's hard to add anything else to the review.

    Can you please explain how to set the shutter speed on a Nikon F3 with such a Non-AI lens? I don’t quite understand: if I only set the desired aperture and set the shutter speed to automatic, will the correct exposure come out? Or do you need to use a separate exposure meter to also set the shutter speed yourself?

      Is there a built-in exposure meter in F3?

        yes, TTL exposure meter

        I did not use such a camera, but if it is possible to mount a Non-AI lens on the Nikon F3 (i.e., the lever of the potentiometer for reading the aperture value is sunk into the camera body), the shutter speed and aperture will have to be set by hand, guided by the built-in exposure meter. Those. shutter speed in the machine will not work without altering the lens in AI. P.S. they tried to sell this particular instance of the lens for $ 200; for this money, you can buy 2 pcs. 50 1,8D or one 50 1,8G + money to wash the purchase will remain :).

    Alexander. Why two Nikon 50-1,8d. If you really have a conversation about cheaper and “wash”, then take Helios 81n — and you will still have a lot of money. Enough for a box of good vodka to “wash” … ..

    Somehow I came across just this particular specimen, with Ai conversion, I did not pay attention to S then, but noticed that the front lens was flat, I took it off with pleasure on Nikon F3, later one person saw it and offered to exchange it for Olympus OM 50mm f / 1.4, I was attracted by the aperture ratio and the fact that the zoo’s tail was on the Nikon F. A couple of years passed, I sold the zoo because I got Nikkor 50 / 1.2, but I noticed that I’m more often shooting on aperture 2 than 1.2 and somehow noticed when passing through St. Petersburg that they sell Nikkor 50/2 for 1400r, I decided to take it also easier and sharp, especially the bokeh at full frame, well, just fabulous . I took it and somehow didn’t notice that the lens was convex, I began to shoot, not at all that the bokeh was empty and there was no sharpness on the open. Then I figured out I realized that I bought the H version, and then I changed the smart lens for the zoo, now I want to get everything 9-petal version. Thanks for the review))
