Heck, ANYWHERE! There are a LOT of older and newer (and new) Nikkors
available - they all fit the Ftn, though "E" and "AF" series lenses
require stop-down meter reading (not difficult), or meter coupling
prongs installed (not difficult). Start with local bulletin boards,
free ad. papers, newspaper classifieds, and camera shop used
equipment shelves. From there, go to Shutterbug ads., rec.photo.marketplace, the www pages offering used photo equipment
classifieds. Within a short time you will see so many Nikkors for
sale, you won't know where to start. One advantage of the Nikon
lens line is that there are LOTS AND LOTS of good lenses available
(the SLR line of lenses is almost 30 years old, has been very
extensive for most of that period, has been popular since the
beginning, has maintained a reasonably compatible lens mount
throughout its history, and the lenses are durably made -
there are a heck of a lot of Nikkor lenses in the world!).
Hope this helps.
