What a nice find, the fungus hoax must have kept the price down nicely too.
I am sure you will enjoy the lens as much as I do, it is a thing of beauty. Don't be afraid to use it wide open too. You have the original lens hood too, that is nice. Mine has a old (period correct) rubber lens hood (from my dad from the 70's), which I "restored" to rubber softness with a water/ammonia bath.
You did a pretty neat job with the Ai hack too. The lens in the video is a weird bastard: it is the Nikkor-S with the Nikkor "K" rubber aperture ring.
