Wow, those other ones looks hot!
Personally, I just ordered that Nikon 50 1.4 used from B&H for about $129.

The guys at the B&H Studio are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

And you plan on contolling the aperture how? Newer Nikon lenses do not have aperture rings so you will be stuck wide open unless you buy a very expensive adapter that allows iris control.

Funny that there are several threads about Vintage glass, and no one mentions this as a problem.

Vintage Nikon lenses have aperture rings, it is the new autofocus lenses that do not.
