Perhaps my favourite is my 105mm f2.5. Wish list: 20mm f3.5, EL nikkor metal 75mm f4.5 and a good fisheye. I would also LOVE a 105mm f4 UV Nikkor...

But at ~£4,500 it will always remain a dream.
Much of my reference has been made to Bj¸rn R¸rslett's website.

Bj¸rn has no axe to grind, and isn't worried about calling a spade a spade.
There are several other valuable websites:
Serials... http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/lenses.html
Reviews... http://www.verwoerd.info/nikon/#ratings
History... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/index.htm
AI -AIS etc... http://www.aiconversions.com
Exotic... http://digital-images.net/Lenses/lenses.html
CPU - or not? .... http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_CPUconversion.html
AF Lenses... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/AFNikkor/index.htm
Fisheye lenses... http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/fisheyes/index.htm
The mir.com site has a huge wealth of info on the older bodies, lenses, accessories and exotics, including the extendable tele lenses which all shared the same back focusing section and different interchangeable front sections which gave (from memory) three different focal lengths. (four!)
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/6070nikkor/telephoto/focusingunit.htm
And so on... I have hundreds of Links to Nikkor websites and pages.
I keep meaning to post a list of my links, but I can't believe anybody else would be that interested in the minutia of Nikkor lenses. Reading all of the info on the websites and pages in this short extract list would keep me busy for many days.
