Want to Buy WTB For parts Nikon 50 f/1.4 non-AI

[Nodda Duma]

Looking for a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 non-AI that I can salvage the optics out of. So if yours has mechanical issues that makes it unusable, I'd be interested in taking it off your hands.

I was given a 50 f/1.4 with optics hazy from fungus damage. Don't have a lot of money or I'd just get a nice one off ebay. Should be able to give you a few bucks tho.


Thanks!
Jason

can't the lens be taken apart and cleaned

Yep it can and I did. But the damage has been done. So I either replace the glass or I polish it out (which I could do but the tool, pitch, and polish would be just as much and it would strip the coatings).
