- This beautiful Nikkor-S Auto 5.8cm was manufactured sometime in the early 1960's. One of the most notable things about it is that the glass elements have air bubbles inside.
I have previously made a video about converting the aperture ring so that it will not damage the mount on a modern DSLR. DO NOT go sticking one of these lenses on a DSLR or you will damage your mount. The conversion video can be found here:

All the characteristics of this lens that you dislike are the very reasons I love this lens! Far, far away from the modern computer designed clinical glass of today. This lens has a strong character of it's own which makes it awesome in my book! Thanks for the video.
Background tree looked better at f16.
Is this the vintage nikon lens that’s based off an early zeiss formula? I’ve heard rumors but haven’t had confirmation. Thanks
Why does the rear inner barrel have an (arc-shaped) protrusion jutting out from the rest of the barrel? Is it there by design? I also have a Nikkor-S 50mm 2.0 and the same barrel is basically smooth and even all around. .
that protrusion will interfere with adapting to some systems. i was lucky enough to pick up a copy of this lens with that entire protrusion removed, so that i can use with EF system.
@@campbells0ups Just figured out the reason. It's to protect the rear glass element. On the 1.4, the rear element retracts way back, exposing the glass to possible abrasions with any flat surface.
This lens was first introduced in 1960. My dad purchased one with a Nikon F. He sold it all to me in 1966. I was so impressed with this lens that I put it away and never used it. I decided to wait until sometime in the future when there were plenty of youth that would buy anything associated with bokeh and they would pay top dollar for one of these babies.
It appears that time has come.
Bubbles? They only ADD to the glamor of these oldies but goodies. After all what are bubbles but tiny bokah.
