Love the bokeh in #1, #5 & #6.

BTW, did you do any PP or images are straight out of camera?

usual PP, correction of black point and white point in levels and small amount of sharpening

Very nice shots!
Is this the first Exacta lens you bought out of many that you own or your only one?
If so I am very surprised, because you have so many lenses.

Very nice, Steinheil made some really good ones and although "just a triplet"
is is a very well computed one, as all Steinheil lenses.
