Rollei 40mm f/3.5 Schneider Super-Angulon PQ HFT. I am very curious how I will like it. Its competition is the stellar Zeiss 40mm FLE, which is probably closer to the 21 or 25 Distagons I am used to on my D800/A7.

Canon FD 24/2 - on the A7,believe it or not - it is sharp across the frame wo at short distances.At infinity it improves it's sharpness/contrast/CA-free performance at least one stop ahead of the 24/2.8 FD SSC/nFD.
Olympus E-Zuiko 85/2.0 single coated silver mouth is a very sharp lens wo.The perception of sharpness is diminished by veiling and low contrast,though
Olympus 135/2.8 - I got two copies of the 135/3.5 alrready,but it is nice to have one 135/2.8 in the stable.Stopped down to 5.6 ther're all the same good quality short telephotos.

The Oly 85/2 is a great little lens that's hardly bigger than the small OM 50/1.4. The MC version is better for contrast wo. Recently sold mine on the B&S

Figured I would get a Mamiya 120 macro to fit onto the Mirex Mamiya to EOS T/S adapter I lucked out on earlier this year....
That's a nice combination. I have most of the Mamiya 645 lenses but my 120 lives on the Mirex and gets the most use, the other lenses sleep with the silica gel...

Slightly off topic, but where is a good place to sell alt lenses? There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest on the Buy & Sell forum here, and I don't really want to have to resort to eBay. Where do you guys (and gals) shop?

I mostly buy them in the B&S forum, actually. I'm in the US, and tend to prefer US sellers to avoid any possible hassle.

Nikon 50/1.2 AI-s arrived yesterday. It is really quite sharp from f/2 on - lots sharper than my Rokkor 58/1.2, a little better than the Contax 50/1.7 and almost with the 35-70/3.4. Slightly nervous bokeh though.
If it had the Rokkor bokeh it would be the perfect fast 50. If the Rokkor was this sharp IT would be the perfect fast 50. Still, I am very happy with the feel, size and weight, enough to contemplate Leitaxing it as a permanent member of the family.
If i could figure out the whereabouts of the adapter I might be able to report on the FD 300/4 L that showed up a few weeks ago

Carsten, I have been following your investment in this new (for you) system. Really curious how it will work out imagewise and otherwise for you.

So the Schneider got here, seems like a very nice lens. I was going to put it through its paces on a photo tour this weekend, but it was just cancelled, so now I am wondering what I will do instead. I have almost no time to research it, since I was going to leave tomorrow after work and spend Saturday shooting until dark, and then return home. Hmmm...
