This is a superb collector’s kit featuring the classic NIKKOR-S Auto 50mm f/2 standard lens, one of the original lenses produced for the legendary Nikon F camera system. Manufactured by Nippon Kogaku Japan, this lens represents the pinnacle of early Japanese optical design.

The "S" designation indicates a seven-element optical formula, prized for its excellent sharpness and natural bokeh. This lens features the highly collectible "zebra" or silver/black finish and is marked with the classic "f=5cm" focal length, signifying a very early production run (circa 1960-1962).

As a Non-Ai (pre-Ai) lens, it is fully compatible with older mechanical Nikon bodies (Nikon F, F2, F3, Nikkormat FTN, etc.). For use on modern digital Nikon SLRs, it would require an Ai-conversion or must be used on digital bodies that support Non-Ai lenses (consult your camera manual for safety).
