Nikon 50mm 1.8 pancake lens comparison for DSLRs

10 Nov

In this episode I talk about a couple of affordable manual pancake lenses from the film photography era that work great with video DSLRs. I compare two versions of Nikon’s 50mm 1.8, one with multi-coating, and one without. Official Lens names: Nikon Nikkor AI-S 50mm 1.8 NEW MIJ Nikon Series E 50mm 1.8 NEW MIJ Blog post: fromtheraw.blogspot.com These will work great on DX Nikon DSLRs for video or photos in Manual mode (‘M’ on the dial) only with Live view turned on. -soon I will post a video with a trick I found out to get them to work without Live View, comment if you need to know now! Please check your compatibility first! For Canon or other DSLRs, or micro four thirds cameras please look into lens adapters, they are a great option to get some inexpensive older Nikon glass on whatever you shoot with.
