Description: Buy with Confidence Buy with Confidence From a highly rated seller with 20+ years presence on eBay *** Completely Serviced *** Nikon Nikkor AI 50mm F2 Prime Lens Lens works 100%, Excellent Glass, Excellent Mechanics. Excellent Appearance. For sale is a Nikon Nikkor 50mm f2 AI prime lens. Although a stop slower than its big brother Nikkor 50/1.4, this lens is very well built and known to be very sharp. The lens front glass is deeply recessed inside a metal cone with nicely machined extinction rings thus need of a shade is eliminated. The lens have earned rave review from Ken Rockwell and it has its unique position in Nikon lens lineup - 2nd in "NIKKOR - The Thousand and One Nights": https://imaging.nikon.com/history/story/0002/index.htm With the complete rebuilding we just performed, it will provide you many years of joyful use. These AI lenses are over 40 years old and generally needs service to restore its performance. The main culprit is the grease in the lens. After decades of use (or disuse) it usually has separated and the lighter oil part has evaporated and condensed onto the internal glass surfaces to form a film of numerous tiny oil droplets (oil haze) - very detrimental to image quality as it softens the image quite a lot. The oil haze is much worse than a little swirls of cleaning mark on the coating or a few sporadic dust particles inside the lens. Some of the lenses, if they have experienced hot/cold conditions for example in a storage unit, the lighter oil may have got onto the blades to cause a sluggish or completely stuck aperture. Even if not yet on blades, often the oil has crept close to the aperture cartridge and before long it will get onto the blades. The grease on the focus helicoids may have deteriorated (separated, lighter oil is gone, heavier part has gummed up) to cause a stiff focus ring or very loose focus action with some play. If the lens has been on beach or in dusty environment, the focus action may be gritty. The lens here has just been completely serviced. We cleaned it inside out. Internal glass surfaces have been cleaned. Oil in vicinity of the aperture cartridge, as well as gummed up grease at various places has been cleaned off. Helicoids have been completely cleaned and with new modern grease applied. The lens will serve you many more years without you worrying about those issues mentioned above. The lens glass is clear and bright without scratch, fungus or haze. The rear glass has a tiny tiny coating mark if you check it carefully at certain lighting angle. We are certain it has no effects on image quality but we always mention any flaw we found. If you shine strong light through as usual you may see a little tiny dusts. This is normal and does not affect lens performance. Aperture blades has no oil. Snappy. Focus is smooth and with proper resistance. Aperture ring clicks at stops as it should. Filter threads are good. Filter screws on/off without effort. Cosmetically the lens is in excellent used condition. The lens barrel shows a few tiny bright spots and light scuffs. Overall the lens looks clean with all lettering is crisp and bright. Please see photos for cosmetic conditions. Includes a pair of generic caps and a Japan generic UV filter. The filter glass has no scratch but does have some minor spots along the edge. If you are picky just replace it. Most copies of this legendary 50/2 AI lens are the used market are in dire need of a complete clean/lub service. Not many people are doing this type of work these day. Get one here when it is still available.
