The lens underwent a couple of changes since. The 55mm line of Micro-Nikkors have a long history starting from 1961.
I won’t be shy to admit that this is one of my favorite lenses, if I were given a chance to only use a lens for the rest of my life I would probably have this on my top-3 list. People like scientists or engineers will require it for exact-reproduction. People sometimes require a simple, manual solution to their problems and this lens supplied that. It has a special place in Nikon’s lineup despite being succeeded by 3 other lenses. It’s a popular lens, it’s one of Nikon’s all-time best lenses so it was only discontinued recently, some 41 years after it debuted. The Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Ai-S was sold from 1979 to 2020, it succeeded the then-aging line of 55/3.5 Micro-Nikkors which never saw any significant optical change for nearly 20 years. Today, I am going to show you a little lens and just like bugs, it’s intricate inside and the construction is wonderful to marvel at. I am always amazed by how intricate they can be, even a boring beetle has a few things that makes them interesting when viewed up-closed.
I love bugs, they’re tiny but their bodies consists of many interesting parts. Hello, everybody! It’s starting to get a lot colder now and the bugs have all crept back to their hiding places to wait for the coming spring next year.
