Brand New Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/2 Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras
Product Description
The Nikon AF‑S NIKKOR 50mm f/2 is a lightweight, bright standard prime lens designed for Nikon FX-format DSLRs (also compatible with DX bodies, where it performs like a 75mm equivalent). It features a fast f/1.8 aperture, aspherical optics, and Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor for smooth, quiet autofocus.
Key Features
-
Bright f/1.8 Maximum Aperture: Enables excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field control.

Aspherical Lens Element: Improves sharpness and reduces spherical aberrations and distortion.

Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Minimizes flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color fidelity.
