Tom,

  The Nikon F2 Body is great (especially with a Nikon F3 D screen put into a
Nikon F2 screen shell), but the 50mm F/1.4 Nikor lens is not so great.  It
must be stopped down two stops to be reasonable.  Better is the 50mm F/1.8
Nikor lens, it is great at F1.8.  It is also usually cheaper, a used one on
EBAY goes for between $40 and $80 depending on condition.....David Borden
