(Is It) For Sale: Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AIs (?)

A friend of mine texted me and asked whether or not I'm interested in selling my Nikon lens, 50 mm f/1.4 and at what price would I be willing to let it go.



I remembered that I bought this lens at HARPA in PASAR BARU (Jakarta Pusat). I think it was pure luck. This one came in great condition with no apparent scratch or signs of misuse in the outer part.



The old man even throw me an original Nikon lens cap (albeit used and in that condition you can see in the picture above).



You can see the aperture ring that read 1.4 up to 16 -- in orange color -- that that particular code told you that this is an AIs lens (if my googling is correct).



Here is another closer look at the aperture ring.



And shown here is the adjacent side of the lens. Notice that the condition is still good -- I'm not going to tell you it is in mint condition or anything because that term is loosely used nowadays -- and I'm keeping it safe in a dry box.



Here you can see another side of the lens with the written "Made in Japan" above the metal ring.



Here is the front optic condition, still good, no visible scratchmarks, no fungi infestation, and believe me, I rarely used this one so it's still in the same condition as at the time I bought it. Oh yeah, the serial number for this lens is 5369700.



Here is the aperture set at f/16.



Here I set it at f/8.



And here is it opened at its widest, f/1.4!

I didn't post any example pictures because I can't seem to find any since I lost my harddrive to some incident. And about the time I post this, I didn't have the time to take any interesting photos.
