The Nikon Nikkor 50Mm F/1.8 Series E Ais Is A Manual Focus Normal Lens For Nikon Slr (Single Lens Reflex) 35Mm Film Cameras. It’S Useable On Basically All Nikon 35Mm Film Slrs Bodies And Many Digital Nikon Slr Bodies*. Series E Lenses Use The Very Same Optical Glass And Feature The Same Rugged Nikon Bayonet Mount As Regular Nikkor Lenses; The Only Difference Is That They Have Been Pared Down In Size, Weight And Price As A Starter Lens.
The 50Mm F/1.8 Series E Was Originally Released In 1979 As A More Affordable Yet High Quality Standard Lens For Cameras Such As The Nikon Em And Nikon Fg. The Series E Lenses Have Proven To Be As Sharp Capable Optics Particularly Popular With Students And Black & White Shooters. The Lens Produces A 46° (Diagonal) Angle Of View And Is Often Referred To As A ‘Normal’ Lens Because It’S Field Of View Roughly Matches The Human Eye And Is Not Considered Wide Angle Or Telephoto But Rather In-Between.
The Lens Is An Especially Good Choice For Anyone Learning Photography. The F/1.8 Aperture Allows Experimentation With Shallower Depth Of Field And Shooting In Lower Lighting. The Fixed Focal Length Forces A Photographer To Think More Concretely About The Compositional And Perspective Effects Of Physically Moving The Camera Rather Than Complacently Relying On A Zoom Mechanism To Change Framing. It’S Also An Especially Affordable Way For A Photographer To Experience The Level Of Sharpness And Contrast Possible From Higher End Lenses.
