Pros: Size, weight, it is "metallic", image quality even at full aperture

Cons: I don't know

Opinion: I state that these vintage lenses I use only on my Nikon FM2, then film. I must say that the images I get, at the press, have nothing to envy with certain lenses today for digital cameras. I am not "technical" enough in the evaluation, but on an emotional level, of the images obtained, I consider it an excellent lens.

Pros: Construction, given its lightness and compactness; vintage quality.

Cons: MAF difficult to manage.

Opinion: I bought this pancake for 40 euros, in very good condition, to be able to use it on my D7000. As an aesthetic, it give me a typical impression of robustness and mechanical simplicity. In fact, the MAF's ring is very fluid and the shots of the iris ring enter smoothly. Being very compact, it is difficult initially to choose the diaphragm, as the ring is attached to the machine body. The exposure meter works well, just enter the correct focal length and maximum aperture data into the REFLEX. The photos are wonderful, typically vintage. At TA it shows obvious softness throughout the scene, we talk among other things about photos taken on APS-C machine, better go to 4 to have a sharper image. The bokeh is also soft, but still nice to see. On APS-C it can be used mainly for portraits, having a focal length of about 80mm, but I also took street photos, and it gave me good sharpness and beautiful colors (enhanced in PP). The only note is on the MAF, as I find it difficult to focus on it. And I think this is due to the short excursion of the ring, and therefore of its lack of precision, which prevent me from proper focus, even in stop down. Let's say it takes experience, it's a 50 for those who want to learn manual shooting.

Pros: Old school

Cons: Old School

Opinion: an optics with the merits and defects of the optics of 40 years ago made "human" in the costs that at the time were reserved for the Nikkor Series E, precisely cheaper but also less performing. However, after 40 years and maybe with an extension type PK11/PK11A comes in handy for macros of good quality also because equipped with the diaphragm ring with "drag" and therefore guarantees the display also on the Nikon modern reflex and here if you need it from time to time you find a discreet macro in the bag. At F/1.8 there is not to expect the 1.8 goals from "one milliondollars" but it helps there in certain cases of light, then to F/2.8 it seriously portrays. The focus ring has the right fluidity and a hike consistent with a 50mm. For those who want a 52mm filleted lampshade is produced and sold for a few euros also made of metal, which gives the 50F1.8 a Pro-in-salsa-vintage look

Pros: Compactness and lightness

Cons: Lower construction than other E-Series

Opinion: Certainly a lens to have in your photographic kit. The famous "pancake", the 50 mm Nikon smaller (really small!) and is also f/1.8. The thing I didn't like is the construction of this E Series that doesn't live up to the other Series E objectives that I employed. For example, the 100 mm and 70-210 (both E-series) are built much better, more solid and the mechanics are great. I didn't feel that on the same level. Probably the 50 f/1.8 pancake of the AIS series is better (I hope to try it). I still gave him a 9 rating because his compactness and excellent openness in such a small body are record-breaking.
