I have 3 Non-AI Nikkors, 28mm f/3.5 H, 50mm f/2 H and 10.5cm f/2.5 Nikkor P that I use primarily on my FTn. The 28mm and 10.5 cm are outstanding lenses. The 50mm f/2 is horrible wide open thanks to a lot of spherical aberration but is quite good at f/5.6. Because of the single coatings they are prone to flare and ghosting but if you avoid bright light sources in the image they perform quite well.

Yes. They are pretty bad when shot against the sun. I just shot with my 10.5cm with the Nikon S3 and I got an ugly blob in the center when shot directly into the sun. can't be helped, ancient coatings.
