Here was an uncommon one I thought I'd share. Note the unusually curved front element. Seems to be a faster budget type lens. 5/4 design. It never appeared with the EBC coating.

Woah! Woah! I just got it today fellow members. Give me a little more time for samples. 
It feels very much like the 2.2/55 Fujinon if that is any sort of reference. |

Less typing, more snapping please!
I too have the 55/2.2 and actually think it's a really, really good lens. Mine is totally beat up though and cost me 99p or something

I actually asked for opinions on the lens in the "M42 Fujinon Lenses" Group on flickr. Member Arkku is the administrator for it.
I hope that he does not mind but he offered this to say:
"It's not bad, though I personally use it as an “effect lens” because it has the kind of character that one sees with simple vintage lenses. For example, bokeh wide open is “interesting” (not necessarily very smooth).
As for sharpness, not as good as the f/1.8 or f/1.4, but decent."
He also graciously offered this sample which I found very pleasant:

There's one of these lenses on ebay now, 30ukp BIN and this pic is so good it has me thinking of buying the lens!
Does the 2.2/50 Fujinon also have this level of bokeh and glow?
