Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 45mm f/2.8 Nikkor AI-S Manual Focus Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Silver)Customer Review: One of Nikon's Best Lenses Summary: 5 Stars
I've heard a well-founded rumor that this 45mm f2.8 Nikkor lens is an exact carbon copy clone of the 45mm f2.8 Carl Zeiss Tessar which was made for the Contax/Yashica SLR camera system. Furthermore I had heard that this lens was made by Kyocera in the same factory which had made the Japanese Carl Zeiss lenses. I'm not sure if either rumor is true, but the 45mm f2.8 Nikkor lens is a classic Tessar design. Regardless of its origins, this lens is truly an exceptional performer and is a nice companion to a Nikon FM3A body if one wishes to do some discrete street photograhy with this camera or one of its predecessors in the Nikon FE/FM series. True, it is more expensive than the 50mm AF Nikkor lenses, but what you gain is better image quality and, I suspect, better mechanical quality too.
