Hi,
I bought some time ago this lens, but never took it with me for a shooting.
Sharing some samples with you.

A very capable lens. For what it lacks in build quality, it makes up in sharpness. I have done a comparison with others of my 100mm lenses - Topcor and Meyer Orestor. The Kalejnar was the sharper of the three, however, all are outstanding lenses.

Kaleinar-5 is an excellent lens! I recently got one, I was quite surprised by IQ.

Is this FF or APSC?

Doesnt that lens exist for KNEB? (Is it the same optics?)

Should be a worthy candidate for really high resolution 6x6 then
