For those who do not require the extra speed of the F/1.4, the 50mm F/2 offers advantages of compactness, light weight and cost economy. Its performance is that of a true Nikkor: critically sharp, brilliant and superbly corrected in every respect. An excellent lens for conventional all-around photography, it also performs exceptionally well when reversed for closeup and macro work (using the Nikon BR-2 reversing ring). Normal focusing range extends from infinity to 24 inches.
