Brian,
Don't do it! I assume you are talking about a manual focus lens. A used
Nikkor AI 105mmf2.5 is NOT expensive... maybe US$150. This lens is
LEGENDARY. It is still considered one of Nikon's best lenses, perfect
for portraiture.
For autofocus the Nikkor 85f1.8D is your best choice. about US$360 new.
By the way, Nikon never made a 50mmf1.7... only f1.2, f1.4 and f1.8 and
f2.0.
happy shooting. Roland
