I was genuinely really really happy when I saw the Tesla photo with the rainbow flare. This type of flare is one of the key features that make the Biotar 1.5/75 and Heliar 1.5/85 so magical.

Very interested in the images this produces
Samples 1: Late afternoon, first time with the lens
Most of the images were taken wide open at f/1.5 in late afternoon light, with subjects at varying distances.
Post processing was kept very light, with only minor sharpening and small exposure adjustments. I used Adobe Color or Monochrome profiles to let the lens natural color and tonal response come through.
The rendering is smooth and painterly, similar in spirit to the 50mm f/1.5 Z21, but with noticeably better off center performance. It still holds a strong character though, with clear veiling flare when shooting into light sources. No hood was used, and no corrections were applied for distortion, vignetting, or chromatic aberration.
