Want to Buy WTB AI and AI-S glass

[2F/2F]

It's finally time for me to move to AI lenses, almost 35 years after the rest of the world. My old Nikon glass just won't work on my new camera.

I have a donated 35mm f/2 lens that has fungus, and it is working fine for now, but I'd be interested in any of the following to make up a basic set to get me started:

28mm f/2.8
50mm f/1.8 or f/2.0
135mm f/2.8 or 3.5

and possibly:

24mm f/2.8 or f/2
28mm f/2
50mm f/1.2 AI-S
105mm f/2.5 or f/2.8 micro

But I really just need the first three for now, with the exception that I might be fine with a 105 instead of a 135.

Please drop a line if you are holding on to anything that you might want to sell, or maybe trade.

I have a 50/1.8 i could probably part with, what've you got to trade?

It looks like I have found my lenses. I ended up with a 28mm f/2.0, a 50mm f/1.8 Series E, and a 135mm f/3.5. Ended up spending just under $400 (most of which was the cost of the 28mm), and got a Nikon FG included to boot. It is great that for about the price of one brand new mid-level autofocus fixed-length lens, I have replicated my standard three lens 35mm kit for my new AF Nikon. Gotta love rearward compatibility! (Though if the darned camera only had the flipping AI tab, it would be pure perfection!)

Man, I love APUG! Thanks for the ad space.

Still might be open to getting a 105mm for the right price. And if a 200 f/4 or 300 f/4.5 IF-ED were to be offered, I would certainly listen!
