I recently found and tried out...



It seems to be a Nikkor-O f1.2 55mm (also called CRT Nikkor) clone, as it looks very similar to it...

Very artistic rendering.
My Nikkor.S.C 55/1.2 glows significantly wide open, this doesn't seem to.

Quickly disappears though...

All those examples have a color cast toward orange-red to my eyes. Could be the subjects, I suppose, or my predawn eyeballs. Laughing

Nope, a preset WB that was, which I had left unchanged Wink

I noticed the white balance as well. The bokeh is unusual. I like it.

A 54mm, also in M39? I do know of a JML 56mm f/1.2 CRT Nikkor clone, 54mm is new to me. Looks like a fun lens.

Interesting trio. It appears to be very similar, designed for 1/4 magnification versus 1/5 of the Nikkor-O.
