Nikon's pre-AI 50mm f/1.4 — the earlier version without AI coupling indexing.

The Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Pre-Ai is a fast standard prime from Nikon's pre-AI era — before the Automatic Indexing (AI) coupling ridge was introduced in 1977. Pre-AI lenses use a rabbit-ear prong for meter coupling. Nikon F mount.

f/1.4 maximum aperture. 50mm focal length (full-frame). Pre-AI metering coupling (rabbit-ear prong — no AI ridge). Manual focus. Nikon F mount.

Pre-AI Nikkors use the older rabbit-ear prong metering coupling rather than the AI index ridge. On modern Nikon DSLR bodies, the prong can damage the metering coupling tab unless the body has a fold-up tab (D700, D800, D810, etc.) or the lens is modified to remove the prong and add the AI ridge. Can be used without metering on any Nikon F-mount body.

On the used market the Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Pre-Ai is a classic vintage standard prime. Condition checks: front element for marks, aperture blade condition (oil-on-blades common), focus ring damping. Nikon F mount — check body compatibility with pre-AI prong before mounting on modern DSLR.

Avg £145, steady over 1 month
