Additional information:

The Nikon Series E 50 mm f/ 1.8 (II) is a normal prime lens for Nikon F cameras.

The lens is multicoated. In spite of the fact that it belongs to the simplified E-series, its design features are superior to those of the AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 (optical quality is the same).It is very compact, though it yields to its predecessor in this respect.

As opposed to the first versions, this lens has a broader rubberized focus ring and a different design.
