it probably would Roland, that is a desireable lens.
maybe a RFF member will buy it and post some pics taken by that Sonnar copy.

it went for just under a grand.

If I remember correctly, the buyer is a Portugal based seller on eBay that normally has a lot of interesting stuff.

It seems to be a very early Nikkor lens, could be the 214th in that row. Most of these early 5cm lenses S/N starts with #905.
Never seen one in ebay, it looks much larger than the later 1.4/50.
Seems to be not overpriced for such a rare lens. The buyer is a serious European collector.

That is correct.

I bought my 85 Nikkor from him.

the Nikkor 50/1.5 took the 40.5 mm dia. filters, where as the 50/1.4 takes a 43mm filter.
the f1.5 was a smaller sized lens IIRC.
