I've been keeping my eyes open for a cheap 50mm Nikkor 1.4 - I've got the sharper f2 AI and have a series E 1.8 on the way so it needs to be very cheap, thought I'd found one but was sniped with seconds to go - my manual sniping needs to improve Smile

On the plus side I'd put in a very low bid on an AI 35mm f2 and failed, then I got a second chance offer with a bit of history about the lens's previous usage on an expedition to the Himalayas and did I know that despite being in very good condition with clean optics it was a 30 odd year old lens for manual cameras Very Happy

So, you got the 2/35?
If yes, congratulations! Great lens and yours has some kind of history!
