Not sure if you can find your luck at Leo's or Kerrisdale la.

Which particular one you're interested?

Kijiji ..  CL ..

Even most of the ads on Kijiji and CL are scam ..  but usually, not the case on those older lens.

looking for mid-range zoom lens,
i don't know much about the old nikkor lens, so any recommendation?

Mid range: 85mm or 105mm?

Best – most expensive
85mm f1.4 AIs and 105mm f1.8 AIs pretty much under ‘collector class’ and always price high.

Affordable:
85 f2 Ai yields better result than the 85mm f1.8 AF ( in my personal opinion ).
105mm f2.5 Ai-s can be found easily online;

Cheap cheap prime:
100mm f2.8 E-series can be found <$100 in pretty good condition, and it’s super compact.

Another cheap like hell zoom lens with reasonable quality is the 75-150mm f3.5 ( constant ) E series -- you can get one around $70-ish and it's constant f3.5!!!  

One issue with the tele-range MF lens is unless you have a manual focus film camera with split focus screen, it may be hard to do focus on those mid-range fast lens.

thx SIuBloDau!
i have FM2n with split screen.
what do you think about the AiS 28-85mm F3.5-4.5s?

未玩過噃... what I tried are 28 f2.8, 50 f1.4, CZ 135mm f3.5 Jena and 75-150 f3.5... the first 2 are all under $150 and yields excellent result ( both being used extensively on my Nikon DSLRs ).  The CZ is about $100, with adapter, very saturated colour but cannot focus to infinity ( design issue with Nikon body ).

Wish I can get a 20mm, 35mm and a 85/105 lens in near future.  Total weight of the 3 prime lens probably are less than a 28-70 f2.8 lens.

FM2n with prime isn't much bigger than your dream RF.
