Nikon introduced a lens in 1959. It was revolutionary. If you were using a 35 mm camera (the ones that took film) it was a scientific breakthrough. Why?

It allowed you to take low light photos.

Today, 50 mm f/1.4 doesn’t sound like much, but back then it was amazing. And we can learn from those cameras and lenses.

If you have one in the closet, dust if off, get some film, and shoot a roll.

It will be fun and you will learn a lot about taking photos.

Try it.
