Used NIKON 'K' 50mm 1.4 (Pre AI) - AI-converted lens in stunning condition. (ser no 2911418)

I believe this lens to be a very late 'k' pre-AI model which has been converted to AI (not AI-S) by Nikon / or other, using the dedicated Nikon conversion kits which were available at the time.

For its age it is in a truly stunning condition, it is super smooth to focus, the iris diaphragm is free of any contaminants and works as it should, the aperture selection ring is positive and clicks nicely throught the range.

The lens body is in an amazing condition, there are a few very light marks to the paint work, I can't see any missing paint or heavy scratches.

The lens elements are perfect, throughout, there is minimal dust present.

The lens comes with front and rear caps (my initials are etched into the front cap, sorry) and I have found an old but usable Kenko skylight (1B) filter which I have fitted, should you wish to use it.

Please check your camera/lens compatibility before buying this lens, I have included some info from Nikon that will help you.
