p.2 #1What is your most recent (alt) lens purchase?
Just got a C/Y 28/2.8 Distagon to use on my 5DII.
My Leitax mount should be somewhere over the Atlantic at the moment.
UPDATE: Leitax should be here Monday.

p.2 #2What is your most recent (alt) lens purchase?
Well, it's not a lens, but just received a Rayqual Nikon-EOS adapter.
Now just need to decide which Nikon/Zeiss ZF/etc to get.
Currently thinking of ZF 25mm, the 'unfavoured' Zeiss that has a cult following by a few members here ;-)

Yashica 50mm 1.4...I love it! Also picked up a Montgomery Ward 28mm 2.8, which despite the branding is a pretty nice lens. It's growing on me.

C/Y 85f1.4 for my 5DMkII.
Haven't used it too much, but, from what I have used it for, I like it!
Wanting C/Y 35f1.4, or C/Y 100f2 next.
Though, wanting a Mirex t/s adapter and Mamiya 35Nf3.5 also.
And then there is the allure of the Olympus Zuiko 50f1.2...
TOO MANY to choose from!
Sigh, I want them all, and probably will, eventually...

I just found a factory refurbished Zeiss ZE 2/100 Makro-Planar for my 5Dmkii. A very nice lens, and at a significant savings.

Pentax Super takumar 135mm f/3.5 from the local Goodwill. Surprisingly sharp little beast.
OK bokeh, but what do you expect for $19....
Here's a wide open shot on my ol' 20D with a manual focus screen:
wide open on 20D
and it even looks sharp edge to edge on my 5DII:
full frame
Best,

Unmodified Rokkor 58mm F1.2 for use on my NEX and G1. Pairs up nicely with my modded copy used on 5D MKII.

The ZF25 is nice, but I'd also consider the ZF28/2, which will be more versatile.

I added three Carl Zeiss ZF glasses, 1,4/50, 2/35, and 2/100. I may have to sell them all for the new 1,4/35 if that lives up to its expectation.
