At 2.8 with some tilt using the Mirex adapter. This is a fairly careless shot as I'm pretty sure I could have focused the entire badge at 2.8 if I took the time to do it properly; http://www.johnjovic.com/images/Gallery/l_309_1000.jpg
Overall I think I like the relatively smooth bokeh and the tonal gradation seems quite nice. Quite sharp wide open but tilting does test it's sharpness a bit.

EDIT, don't ask me about the car, it's not mine. And yes, it's genuine.
They are foxes which have been skinned. I have no idea why they've been left on the fences but they've been there a long time. Rabbits and foxes are beautiful animals but they are vermin in these parts and it's not uncommon to see dead ones in rural areas such as this, although not normally draped over fences. I think they make for interesting subjects.
I could post some car pics shot with the Mamiya 150/2.8 A in the same place as the dead vermin (I shot a car there about a month ago) but frankly I think the vermin pics are more interesting.
Seems the store (or a pouncing predator of a customer) scr*wed me over for the 120/4 - either that or they got a notion of the real value of the lens before I had the chance to collect it. The short version is that they claimed that I had already been there, payed, and picked up the lens earlier when I got there to pick it up.... :-/ ()
Well, anyways... Not the top priority, but a good deal gone south.
Here's some fluffyness - 150A2.8 on A850, heavily cropped. This was taken just before the mother duck attacked me. :-) http://pici.se/pictures/IrSijsTlY.jpg
Normally I call this kind of shot a "bokeh showcase", but it's a good shot even if you disregard the lovely bokeh. Something about the shape of the wings....
The 120 seems to draw kind of like a smoother, APO Zeiss makro, like the longer S-Planar without the edgy-ness. Too bad I missed one... :-/ I'll have to prioritize some more practical stuff right now, though - there are lots of situations where my speed-MF skills just aren't enough for the job. A Sig100-300F4 is needed to be fit into the budget for before any more MF glass is considered.
Some flowers might be appropriate on midsummers night... 150A2.8 @ 5.6.
Thought about editing the ant out, but in the original presentation size it's actually adding to the picture in my opinion... In web-size it's just a speck though :-)
