Description :

The Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Series E AIS is a manual focus normal lens for Nikon SLR / DSLR cameras.

It’s useable on basically all Nikon 35mm film SLRs bodies and many digital Nikon SLR bodies.

Series E lenses use the very same optical glass and feature the same rugged Nikon bayonet mount as regular Nikkor lenses, the only difference is that they have been pared down in size, weight and price as a starter lens.

The 50mm f/1.8 Series E was originally released as a more affordable yet high quality standard lens for cameras such as the Nikon EM and Nikon FG.

The Series E lenses have proven to be as sharp capable optics particularly popular with students and black & white shooters.

The lens produces a 46° (diagonal) angle of view and is often referred to as a ‘normal’ lens because it’s field of view roughly matches the human eye and is not considered wide angle or telephoto but rather in-between.

The lens is an especially good choice for anyone learning photography.

The f/1.8 aperture allows experimentation with shallower depth of field and shooting in lower lighting.

The fixed focal length forces a photographer to think more concretely about the compositional and perspective effects of physically moving the camera rather than complacently relying on a zoom mechanism to change framing.

It’s also an especially affordable way for a photographer to experience the level of sharpness and contrast possible from higher end lenses.
