Nikon 50mm manual focus lenses

I bought a non ai 50mm/f1.4 for $25 then converted it (thank you John White). It is now my day to day workhorse on my FM3a.

the 50 f2 S-Auto series is as good as newer versions. Same optical construction, same glass quality, same everything. Bonus, an all metal lens!!
The H series is very good too. You only loose 1 stop from the 1.4, that's not a big deal for outdoor shooting.

Do you mean the Nikkor-S? If so it has seven elements, compared to the six of the Nikkor-H.
