Finding one without cleaning marks is a challenge. The most economical way
to get one may be to buy a used Nikon S2 with one attached (there seem to be
a lot of those). But you can only use it on your Nikon S2.

You might want to try a 2" f/2 Cooke
Amotal.  Despite the really crude mount, this is one outstandingly solid
lens.
