Hi Marc:
Some time ago I considered manual Nikor lenses but later I stopped considering them. The main reason is that I cannot find a site which provides detailed reviews on them with numbers like here and lenstip. I know that those manual wide angle Nikors worked great on film cameras but I don't know how they worked on DSLRs. Counter-examples are Nikor AF-D 35mm f2 and 20mm f2.8 which worked very well on film cameras but not so well on full-frame DSLRs, according to the tests on this site.
PS. For whatever reasons I cannot access the page of your blog.

The 20mm/2.8 worked well because film was less demanding. But even on film it was not great wide open...
Same with the AF 35mm/2D. That was never a really good lens.
