Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the AF-S 50mm f/1.2?

Nikon doesn't make an AF-S 50mm f/1.2 for F-mount; the equivalent fast modern Nikkor is the AF-S 58mm f/1.4G for F-mount or the Z 50mm f/1.2 S for Z-mount. The AI-S 50mm f/1.2 is the historical flagship manual-focus Nikkor in this focal length.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.

    Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
