About the product.
The Nikkor AI-S 50mm f/1.2 is the fastest fifty Nikon ever put into general production, and it stayed in the catalogue essentially unchanged from 1978 until 2020 — a forty-two year run on one optical design. Seven elements in six groups, nine aperture blades, and a rendering that changes character completely as you stop down: dreamy and low-contrast wide open at f/1.2, then snapping to serious sharpness by f/2. Photographers buy it for exactly that split personality.

In short
Near mint, with clean optics and the original leather case — and an orange filter with its keeper thrown in, which is exactly what you want for black and white landscape work. Wide open it glows; from f/2 it bites. Both are the point.
