I sold all my Nikon gear for Leica—but there's one Nikon lens I will never sell!

Nikon Nikkor-H Auto f/2.

For 15 years, I was a dedicated Nikon user. My photographic journey was shaped by the dependability of Nikon cameras and lenses, which consistently delivered exceptional results. Over time, I amassed a collection of Nikon gear that became an extension of my creative vision.

Yet, as my style evolved, so did my needs and preferences. Eventually, I decided to sell all my Nikon equipment and transition to Leica, embracing a new chapter in my artistry. Despite this shift, one lens remained untouchable: the Nikon Nikkor-H 50mm f/2.
