<p> Luis; Try looking at nodevice.com. They sell online repair manuals that one can buy and download in pdf form for Nikon and different other brands of lens, and they have a low res sample of the lens exploded schematic on each lens page. I didn't see your lens listed, but you could look at the ones for the AF 28mm f2.8 and the AF 35mm f2 lens because they are of the same design as your AF 50mm f1.4.</p> <p> Also. If you do a Google search for Nikon Lens Schematic, you'll find a higher res version of the AF 28mm f2.8 lens to help guide you if you want to attempt a repair yourself. I have repaired many of my lenses over the years with and without these schematics. Hint. Take pictures of every phase of the disassembly to guide you in the reassembly. That's if you want go that rout.</p>

<p>Heidi; I used Nikon FM's for twenty years before stepping up the Nikon F5's with it's 99% accurate matrix meter, but with FM's, I would set the focus on the lens at infinity then take a meter reading of the palm of my hand filling the viewfinder to set a baseline, then either stop the lenses aperture down one full stop or use a one full stop higher shutter speed. You could get a gray card to establish a baseline. This worked for me very well for the film I used mostly back then.(Kodak Ektachrome)</p>

<p> Get as long a lenses that you can't afford. Then sell it when you get home. You will want to stay as far from Bison as possible, (Wild Bison are not very people friendly.) and with the D5500 supposedly high ISO pic quality, that Nikon 200-500 mite be a good choice. Also the crop factor of DX, give an efective focal length of 300-750mm.</p> <p> Shoot RAW. </p>
