You don't need to be "concerned" about the radioactive 50/1.4 .
They seem to be rarer than M lenses. I've been half heartedly
looking for one for about six months and have seen several M
lenses and cameras but not a single 50/1.4 with SN below
15x,xxx let alone below 13x,xxx or 12x,xxx where there is more
certainty that it is a BAD lens. Even the 55/1.2 s that I've seen
have high enough SN that their radioactivity is doubtful. 8^(

Does anyone have a nice looking 50/1.4 with SN < 12x,xxxx
that they would sell for say $85 ? Ummm ... I don't want one
that has been "repaired".

Moose,
wao, thanks for your great explanation. Very clear
now! I still need to take a look through my 1.4 then.
How concerned do I need to be that these yellowed
uranium-whatever(?) lenses produce a yellow cast in
the pictures I take? I have not noticed any bad
results I would ascribe to that, but I never really
looked that closely either... Maybe it could be a
problem if you were into architecture photography and
had big white walls...?
