This one is a few years old. I sold the last of my Nikon gear about three years ago but have owned numerous Nikon bodies and lenses over the years. The last one out the door was a Nikkormat FS with a Nikkor-S 55 1.2 non-Ai. This was taken with a late run F with a 28 3.5 non-Ai. 022 yellow filter, TMax 400 developed in HC-110 and scanned with a Plustek 7600i:
I’m not 100% sure it isn’t a questionable copy, suspect it has a bit of tilt, but not thrilled with the 50mm f/2. Seems to have field curvature and periphery is smears in an unattractive way. Bad copy?

You must have a bad copy or it had a hard life. I've owned a bunch of 50 2.0's over the years with the HC non Ai being my favorite. Here are both the six element H and the seven element S. The S is toward the end of the run from 1963 and has six aperture blades. The earlier versions had nine. Nice photos BTW:
Thanks. I’ll probably give it a tear down and check it all. It’s not bad but not as good as I was thinking with the boarders being the most problematic. Maybe I need another.
