Description from the seller
Up for auction is a pristine and highly sought-after vintage Nikon Lens Series E 50mm f/1.8 manual focus prime lens. Introduced in the early 1980s as part of Nikon’s lightweight "Economy" line to complement compact SLR bodies, this lens has since earned a massive following among analog and digital photographers alike for its exceptional optical sharpness, compact pancake-style form factor, and gorgeous vintage rendering.
This particular bundle is exceptionally collectible because it includes the matching original vintage Nikon cylindrical hard case equipped with its carrying strap. Featuring smooth mechanical focusing and a snappy aperture ring, it is fully compatible with classic Nikon film cameras (such as the FM, FE, and F3) and can also be easily adapted to modern digital mirrorless camera systems using simple, affordable adapters.
Condition Notes:
The lens optics are clear and well-preserved, featuring smooth focus rotation and crisp click-stops on the aperture ring. The exterior barrel shows light, honest signs of age-appropriate vintage use, and the protective hard case remains sturdy and clean. Please carefully inspect the high-resolution photo gallery to appreciate the exact condition of this classic setup. Packed with maximum care and shipped securely with tracking.
