Comments about Nikon NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4 AIS Manual Focus Lens:
This is an amazing manual focus lens. I use it with the FM3A camera. The sharpness is excellent, the contrast is wonderful but the thing you can't find anymore on lenses is the quality. All metal construction, creamy soft focus ring, very small and light. I am a Canon user since 1995 but Nikon did make fantastic manual focus lenses. It is hard to find these lenses now a days so a big thanks to B&H Photo for having them in stock.

Comments about Nikon NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4 AIS Manual Focus Lens:
I picked this lens up for [$] used (tantamount to stealing :P ) and I enjoy using this lens eve more than my 55-200mm. The crispness of the photos combined with the stunning color is simply amazing. And being able to stop down to f/1.4 makes for some fun low light and nighttime shooting. A must have for anyone starting out on a DSLR or looking for a good prime!

Comments about Nikon NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4 AIS Manual Focus Lens:
This lens works great on my Nikon FM3A. It is very sharp and extremely well built. Focus ring is very smooth and aperture ring has nice solid clicks at every full f-stop marking. Made in Japan of only metal and glass, no plastic. Wish my modern auto-focus lenses felt this solid.
