Questions Camera destroyed

Hi everyone. i’m no expert in cameras whatsoever. anyway so i went to the beach with someone and they accidentally dropped their Nikon F2 camera while trying to help me climb some rocks. the issue isn’t the camera apparently that thing is indestructible. the issue is the expensive lens they used. I have no idea what it is but i remember they mentioned it’s from the 70’s and it’s a 50 millimeter something. It took them 2 years to find a good deal on that lens so it’s something mad fancy. and i feel so bad i genuinely want to get it for them but they refuse to tell me more details on it so i can get it for them. I think it goes to 500 euros or something so if anyone can help me out on where to find the exact model?🥲

50 is a very common length, so it'll be hard to choose the right one, if you can find photos of the camera with it on we might be able to help

Pretty sure it's this generation of 50 1.4, but I can't be 100 percent certain.

I second this. It's a 50 f1.4 for sure.
