[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 44355, member: 6548"] John White is THE man for doing ai conversions you can find him at [URL="http://www.aiconversions.com/"]AI Conversions for Nikon Lenses: Effective, Fast and Affordable![/URL] He is seriously professional...mills the rings...the whole ball of wax...no cookie cutter machine work with this fellow... I would go ahead and have John Ai the 50/1.4 despite having the 50/1.8 (which is better than any of the old 50s by virtue of its modern lens coating and AF capability) because it is so cheap and because then you will have a another fast fifty to use. All of the Nikon 50s (talking old lenses here) have basically poor angular or swirly bokeh and Marcel is correct in that it is very difficult to get your subject in focus because of the very shallow DOF at wide open apertures.
