Agreed with @ebwkiw. Mamiya-Sekor 55mm f1.4 is surprisingly sharp wide open. I bought one a while ago, and was working in relubricating it as it was really hard to focus. Just finished the cleaning up and done some test shots around the house. It really surprised me with it's performance wide open.
Word of caution on these: They are really dusty and will have some issues with stiff focus ring or aperture or both. But if the glass is clean, they are cleanable and fixable. Worth the effort, if you are into that kind of restorations.
