I have two copies of the optically identical 100/2.8 SSC,which is a great lens with plenty of 3D look.I came across two 100/2.8 FDn's lately,but they had greasy apertures.
Meanwhile I manged to get a second excellent copy of the Canon FD 85/1.8.What a little,nice lens!

I ordered the Fuji XF 23 1.4 on the last day of the sale about a month ago and am still waiting for its arrival as it is backordered. I am getting a little impatient and hope it is worth the wait.

I picked up a nice, mint Nikkor 105mm f2.5 AIS yesterday... too bad I don't have a Nikon camera (other than film) to use it on.

Rokinon 14mm for 5DIII.
Sent two back for decentering. I think the one arrived yesterday is spot on. Need to get outside and shoot a brick wall to be sure, but shooting my living room blinds last night from 0.7 meters seems to have given me good results. Not sure I trust them though at such short range - or should I say rather that might not longer range (2m to infinity) be more relevant to general shooting?
btw, there's a great adobe lens profile out there (originally written for the 1DX, I think) that completely fixes the mustache distortion without cropping the image at all.

Two:
MEYER-OPTIK GÖRLITZ TRIOPLAN 100mm f2.8
MEYER-OPTIK GÖRLITZ ORESTOR 135mm f2.8
both arriving from Germany next week
Ps: just noticed that one pic has an unintended "plug" - is just that both lenses still travelling, so don't have any samples or my own pictures of them
MOG - Tioplan
MOG - Orestor

"Prolonged" version of Mamiya RZ67 APO 500mm with Sigma APO teleconverter 1,4X on SD1M.Note that this teleconverter is very restricted for a certain number of Sigma APO lenses.This combo goes very well, very sharp, no CA adding (not like it with Canon 400L).The "sight" becomes focus lever.

That usually is a matter of whether any protrusions from the back of the lens obstruct the flange, rather for than any optical reason.
