Thx for the link. I was looking here:
[url="http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html#135"]http://www.photosynt...lenses.html#135[/url]
According to the serial number it´s not an E-series lens. Besides some CA these lenses are (mostly) said to be pretty good.

This link is also very informative... It includes the min. focus distance and rep.ratio info, which is not easy to find for such old lenses. Thanks...
It's obvious that the different optical design of the non-E version provides better minimum focusing distance and reproduction ratio (for close-ups). Since I don't know the market price for the non-E version, I guess I have to withdraw my statement regarding the price for the repair then <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Edit: One more remark, these Ai-S lenses do not get on well with the matrix metering (I guess because of the lacking "distance" information). Therefore, I'd suggest to use spot metering in almost all cases.
