Note, I measured my Series-E 35/3.5 with a focus throw of 100° - which is the same as the AI 35/2.8 (new) - not 50° as you guessed. Still very short. In fact Nikon must have realised is was too short because the AIS version increased to 120°, making it the only AIS lens with a longer focus throw than the AI version.
