Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 Ai Lens F Mount

The Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 Ai is a legendary close-focus macro lens known for its sharpness, contrast, and pleasing rendering. Designed for Nikon F-mount film and digital cameras, it’s capable of true 1:2 macro reproduction natively, making it an ideal tool for photographing small subjects like flowers, coins, and textures with incredible detail. Paired with extension tubes, it can achieve full 1:1 life-size magnification.

Beyond macro work, the 55mm focal length makes it a highly usable standard lens with excellent image quality across the frame. Many photographers also appreciate its smooth manual focus throw, making it an excellent choice for video shooters or anyone who values precision focusing.

Condition: Good

This lens shows some cosmetic and optical signs of use but remains fully functional. There are a few mild cleaning marks on the glass, some internal dust, and an extremely faint fog that is barely noticeable. None of these will significantly affect real-world shooting for most users, though advanced macro shooters may notice reduced contrast in certain backlit conditions. The focus and aperture mechanisms work smoothly, and the aperture blades are clean and snappy.
