Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 Ai-S Lens

The Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 Ai-S is one of the fastest and most iconic standard lenses ever made for the Nikon F-mount system. With its razor-thin depth of field, creamy bokeh, and rich tonal rendering, it’s a favorite among portrait photographers, available light shooters, and Nikon collectors alike. The Ai-S version is the final and most refined mechanical iteration, offering buttery-smooth focusing and full compatibility with Nikon’s classic film bodies like the FM3a, FE2, and F3, as well as digital bodies that support manual focus lenses.

With an ultra-bright f/1.2 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and delivers a dreamy rendering that gives images a distinctive character—often described as “cinematic” or “3D pop.” Whether you're chasing creamy bokeh on film or adapting it for mirrorless use, this lens holds its own against modern optics with a timeless look.
