The one listed above is one, but it is expensive (around $500). I don't know why you don't just go with the Nikkor lenses. They fit on both Film & Digital cameras and are around $125(F/1.8) - $250(F/1.4). There aren’t a whole lot of fixed 50mm lenses that fit on a Nikon camera.

It's a manual focus AI-S and is not cheap but reviews say it's well made. You did not state if you are looking for a lens for your film or digital camera.
