NIKKOR-AIS55mmF2.8 macro lens is a Nikon AIS manual focusing lens that supports program exposure;
The introduction of Nikon's first matrix metering mode fuselage FA was launched in the same year (1983) and can fully support FA's three kinds of auto exposure modes;
The lens adopts 5 groups of 6 structures with a viewing angle of 46° and an aperture range of F2.8-F32. It is fitted with the "rabbit ear" featured by Nikon.
Recent shooting distance 25CM, magnification 1:2; 80 years and before the macro lens, magnification 1:2, and after the popularity of autofocus technology, macro lens magnification has also developed to 1:1 as the mainstream .
The lens is made of metal and the weight of 290 grams is not bulky.
The purpose of starting this lens is to use with my Nikon FA body, shooting still and other flowers can also take a look at the header, the price is not high; speaking, this combination is with my age, used to film is really very Suitable.
As the old saying goes, “Macro does not have a weaker tripâ€, and this AIS55 has a predecessor calling it “the sharpest shot of Nikonâ€; of course, the Yangtze River is pushing the waves forward, and the glorious era of the 30-year-old old guy is also a past tense. I didn't expect much from it. I chose it more for manual shots. However, after the audition, the performance of this lens surprised me. The performance in all aspects was excellent. Resolving performance still stands out today. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is absolutely unacceptable; due to the filming characteristics of macro subjects, we Manual focus is often needed, so that this lens still has a good practical value, so I decided to write an article to share (pian) share (jin) enjoy (bi).
The photo was taken by a 24 million-pixel 610, and even though 100% of the crop was still very sharp, among my current shots, it was indeed a sharp champion:

Tell me about this AIS55 macro lens.
The lens is not high in price, and the fineness is not outstanding. Metal mirrors leave many traces of use.
Compared to today's autofocus lenses, the manual lens operation feels better than usual: the aperture ring of the AIS55 lens is adjusted for the entire position, and the positioning is clear. Due to the fact that the depth of field is very shallow during macro shooting, the amount of information required to keep the subject is usually sufficient. Need to shrink the aperture, the lens provides a minimum F32 aperture can be selected; lens focus ring damping moderate, feel smooth, but compared with my other 30-year-old mirror Pentax 50F1.4 slightly inferior.
The focusing stroke of the lens is very long. From infinity to the nearest focusing distance, it needs to be turned by 270°. The front end of the lens barrel is stretched in two stages, and the focus ring also moves. The total length changes greatly. This is the commonality of the macro lens. The optical structure is determined.
In addition, the lens has a relatively short stroke when shooting a distant view, making the focus experience unsatisfactory when used as a standard lens.
The lens group is not large in diameter. The front lens is deep in the lens barrel. The macro lens of the head focal length segment is almost completely designed. I don't know why this is so. I hope the educated classmate will understand the problem in the comments. The lens aperture is 7 pieces, and the arc blade forms a nearly circle.

Nikon's favorite rabbit ears, sprouting buds.
The effect on the lens, had to say, and the original FA is really very coordinated.
Digression: This is my only one macro lens. When I need to shoot it, I find that no suitable lens is available. It's really awkward...
Then talk about imaging:
The contrast and resolution of the AIS55 are very good. The photo gives a very sharp feeling. At the same time, the camera's out-of-focus performance is soft and delicate. The performance of the flowers and the still life is excellent. Sharpness is sometimes a double-edged sword and it is necessary to admit that this lens is The performance of shooting a distant view or portrait can sometimes appear a bit stiff, but this is not the main purpose of this shot after all;
The color performance of the AIS55 is relatively simple and the whole feels a bit cold and thin;
It is worth mentioning that the dispersion control of the lens is very good, only in extreme situations, please reflect, the lens does not use special lenses, want to come to the advantage of the lens structure.
Here are the samples:
In the macro section, although the 1:2 magnification seems slightly outdated today, the detail retention ability is still outstanding.

Still life is also hand-to-hand.
For portraits, the AIS55 is probably a little too tidy, maybe it's better to shoot a man.
Overall, as a three-digit price lens, the AIS55 is still of practical value. The lens performs very well in the shooting of macro subjects, and the guest standard lens can also be qualified; whether it is used for manual use of a sexy camera, Still using a digital camera to shoot flowers and still life, this lens is a very good choice.
Finally put a few photos, the level of limited welcome experts advise:
