Vintage Nikon 50mm 1.4

[@tripleeightproductions]

I was brought up on film era Nikon’s, kinda followed in my fathers footsteps. Who else is still using their old Nikon lenses? Are you doing photography or videography or both? I’d love to hear what your using..

Great review, thank you! I just ordered a 50mm f/1.4 AIS, since I really want a fast prime lens, and I didn't really like the newer 35mm f/1.8. Also, my Helios 44-2 wont focus to infinity, which is a real bummer. I have a pair of AIS zoom lens too, the 43-86mm f/3.5 and the 80-200mm f/4, and if I want to go wider, I use a Sigma 17-55 f/2.8. I guess I should upgrade my body next, I'm still rocking my first camera, a D3400

That was exactly what I was looking for, perfect. Thank you.

Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great review man, but just an fyi, that's an AI lens. Not AIS. You can tell by the White small aperture numbers (not multi-color). Also, for more practical reasons, the focus throw on AI glass is much greater (on most or all of them...not sure). They shortened it on the AIS versions.

the video I've been looking for. would like to know what adapter you use for fuji x body 😊

[@anuraj5295]

It is full frame? It can be used with Sony A7III?

[@trevorwild195]

it is FF. I use it on my A7RIII.

[@tripleeightproductions]

Yes it’s full frame and will be good with an adapter

This is the AI version. Not the AI-S

i have an 50mm f1.4 nikkor but its an older taller version, has a rubber focus ring grip with 3 horizontal grooves. The rear ring on it has been AI converted or "Ai'd". Excited to try it out. My 85mm F/2 AIS had the oily aperature blade issues (so bad that it got stuck) but its still beautiful wide open and im gonna get it fixed. Was so bad and this is apperently common to AIS/AI models so that when it came to get a 28mm I purposefuly got another older F/2 version that had also been "Ai'd". according to this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl63mpmsa8mqjKs its actually better optically. Its a good way to get high quality cheappp. Maybe not the same coatings though, not sure...

That’s great. Let me know how you get on.
