How much would you pay for Nikkor50/1.4

Depends how you would be selling it.

It is worth more if it can be inspected.

Less if just sold blind on the internet.

A good starting point would be around $100 for a perfect one.
 
I think if the lens is in mint condition, you can get 200 USD. That is at least what they often sell for on ebay...
 
Its highly rated by kenrockwell.com (if thats what you meant)

I am actually trying to purchase one ...so was trying to establish what price I should offer the vendor.
 
Ok Shooter, here's what you look for.

Does the lens have any fungus, mold, scratches, rust, discoloration, dirt, wear, haze, to the optics ?

How smooth is the focusing, any sticking, clicks, sloppiness ?

Check the inner threads of the lens to see if they're cracked.


If it passes these above, then you're looking at $150.00 - $350.00 depending on its condition. If it is any higher than that, it is up to you. You would also need to know the body type, that can change the price too (AI or Non AI).
 
The lens is mint.

Anyway ... thanx all ... I have a price I am willing to pay for it based on your info.

BTW - I already have a 50/f2 which is excellent but thought a lens 1 stop faster could be nice to have also for low light emergencies. (justification to myself).

I have kind of got a bit hooked on re acquiring the great old Nikkor lenses. Many of which I had previously.
