I just paid for a nikkor-p.c 10.5cm 1:2.5 in ltm. the seller listed as a Nikon mount (clearly ltm and including ltm-m adapter) said glass was scratch free (certainly looks it in pictures) said there was wear on the barrel (all I see is dust between the ridges on the knurling).
We'll see how it looks when it arrives and after a clean. Will share shot of/with it asap
Woww ... both 85/1.2 60 jahre and Pentax-A 50/1.2 are two of my dream lenses Congratulations!
I have the K version of Pentax 50/1.2 and I like it very much. Sharp enough at wide open and the bokeh is much smoother than my Nikkor 50/1.2 Ais and Canon FD 55/1.2 ssc (not aspherical). I read that the Pentax-A version is sharper at wide open.
Helios 40-2 85/1.5 is one of my favorite lens. The only aspect that bothers me is the lack of sharpness at wide open compared to my Biotar 75. Helios 40-2 wins on it's longer focal length (to get thinner DOF and more dreamy look) and it's closer MFD and above all it's more more affordable compared to Biotar.

I am trying a Contax 60-C 2.8 Makro. It's very compact and I like it overall. Not sure if I can get used to stop down metering for outdoor macro shooting, though.

#3 is 100% crop. i don't think it's sharp, thou....or because of the poor lightning.
btw, i've tested it side by side with my 85L 2 and the sharpness is compatible between the 2 (the contax is lightly better) and it beats my 85L in CA control...

....ISO 1250 on 5D body is the cause of lossing sharpness....(just check my camera)

Would you please post the comparison shots between the two f/1.2 monsters. In separate post maybe. I am very very curious to know
Sharpness, CA, color, contrast.

Vivitar 135/2.8 Close Focusing in Nikon F mount.
My S/N starts w/ 28, and I am using a Fotodiox Pro adapter for EOS mount.
WOW! Best $125.00 I ever spent on a lens!
These are straight out of the camera, from RAW to Bridge, then to Image Processor to resize and to convert profile to sRGB.
NO PP! Wow, yet another lens that needs none to minimal PP, yey!
