If you take the Nikon D700 and attach the Nikon 50mm f/1.4
NIKKOR-S Auto (Non-AI). What do you get? Magic! Personally, I think the lens looks beautiful. Very high quality build. It weighs about 306 grams.

But how do you attach a Non-AI lens to the Nikon D700? Well, you hack the aperture ring with a file. Just sweat and a fine file. It’s a nail-biting process for an amateur. But if you take your time you will end up with a magical lens! Search the web for instructions! It’s been a long time since I did the conversion. Doing the conversion with a file took about 3 hours.

If you can nail the focus of this lens, it’s super sharp. The focus ring is pretty stiff on my personal lens. Out of the box, the colors are very pleasing for the Nikon 50mm f/1/4 Nikkor-S Auto. I believe I paid less than 60 dollars for this lens a few years ago.
