Pentacon 30/3,5 M42

Successor of Meyer Lydith 30/3,5 which I believe improved. specially in Coating. Lydith often prone to lack of contrast and flare too much. Sharpness and bokeh is same.
3 samples below were taken on Sony NEX5+lens turbo

Here's taken with Olympus EPM1, all wide open

Meyer optik gorlitz Primoplan 58/1.9 & Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 50/1,9

Non scientific test, just for fun. I like both lenses. All shot in Sony NEX5. edit resize only
1st test, same distance, xenon is wider (50mm against 58mm)

Primoplan

Xenon

In 2nd test, I used closest distance for both lenses. So it was different distance. Xenon has shorter distance, so even it's wider but can produce bigger macro ratio.

I hope you like it.

Rathenower Optische Werk Visionar 77/1.6

Another projection lens, this lens has register flange almost similar to Konica AR lenses. So no infinity in EOS camera. I don't use it for infinity though. good for portrait.be careful, it has very thin dof. all wide open.

Olympus H Zuiko Auto S 42mm/1,2 Pen F

I got the lens few months ago, but focusing ring was wrong and I have no adapter to test.

It's fixed now.

first conclusion; very thin dof at wideopen, but sharp if you can nail focus hehehe

flowers wide open

After some months, I can find what I like in Olympus EPM1, I mean I prefer it than Sony NEX5 (well actually I'm not often using it, because I'm more convenience with tilt lcd of NEX5)
These set was shot with Schneider Kreuznach Curtagon 35/2,8, black one in exakta mount

Taylor hobson projection lens 3inch/1,8

Olympus H.Zuiko Auto W 24/2,8

All shot with Sony NEX5 + Zongyi lens turbo.
Distortion is minimum with lens turbo, so in Full frame camera will be similar.
Contrast is not high. I find detail on shadow area in gih contrast shot.
Sharpness isn't stellar but enough. overall sharp at center, and soft at edges
Minimum focus distance is written 0,25m

I got bargain lens. front lens has haze/fog, rear optic has cleaning marks.
Fine enough for me, samples.
Stacked pano from 3 shot at F5,6
