After writing this I did some online research and I've answered my own questions pretty well.
I have a local camera shop with a shelf full of old Nikkors. I haven't been there for a couple of years but I'm pretty sure there were some pre-AI lenses there that I ignored previously. Guess I need to drop by again....Show more →
Does anyone here have a 18mm f3.5 for sale? I am
Looking to sell me 20mm f2.8 AIS but rather ask if anyone wants a faster glass that I can exchange for wider angle.
Been a long time since I visited this thread. Anyway, I finally got the modest 50mm f/1.4 that I leisurely have been looking for. It's far, far from a rare find. But the factory AI conversion on this SC was not easy for me to locate. Glass is in excellent condition, and focus is super smooth. I like it

Chuong... you have NO excuse. If you're in the Bay Area you will always have a tour guide... if you ask for one. You know how to reach me... and I'd be delighted to meet you and however many of your family you may have with you...

It may not be rare, but it is a fine lens and you found a beautiful copy with the AI conversion kit. My copy doesn't get a great deal of use but it is a fine lens...
