If this is the lens you bought you blew it because it has the Nikon AI conversion kit and that price is killer. I paid $325 for a mint copy of an AI-s version of the lens. The C, K, AI and AI-s have the same optical design and all have Close Range Correction.
If you're going to play in this field you really owe it to yourself to learn a bit more on the subject. One thing you might consider is spending some time on the Manual Focus Nikon Glass thread where we play continually with these lenses. Had you asked someone on that thread to look at that E-Bay listing you'd have gotten immediate feedback with the information that it HAS been converted. Secondly, you might wish to familiarize yourself with the New Zealand website that maintains databases on serial numbers and specifications for all Nikon lenses. Here is a link...

These lenses are amazing and affordable. For folks shooting film or with DSLR cameras that have a non-CPU register, using these lenses is a delight. The fact the MFNG thread is by far the busiest on FM demonstrates that these lenses are still much used and much prized. They are worth getting to know... Good luck...
