Anyone got a legacy (i.e., vintage) Nikkor ca. 50 mm f 1.4 lens? My son has been having great fun with my mid-1970s 50 mm f 2.0 Auto-Nikkor on his D40 (as well as our old Nikkormat FtN), but he'd like something faster.
I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Send me an e-mail if you've got something appropriate and not too pricey.
Feel free to delete this post if a WTB is inappropriate (I know we cannot sell at AA outside the Classifieds)!
Here's a photo he took last week with the FtN and the 50 mm f 2.0 lens using ISO 400 Kodak "pro" b&w film (scanned from a commercial 4" x 6" print)

Have you looked at KEH.com. I have been buying used gear from them for 25 years and i send my students that way. Nice pic, tell him to push the framing, less balance and more edge tension.
