I have three Topcors, including this one, and love them all. No surprise that they are fairly expensive even now.

The biggest difference between the 58mm f/1.8 and f/1.4 I mentioned: black is black at the 1.8 while the 1.4 has low-contrastlike reddish black. |

This 35mm lens measures out as a very close-up minimum focus distance, great for this type of shooting!
It also is the most common lens to be found on my camera as my everyday lens!
I have several other RE AUTO TOPS now as well: 3.5/25, 2.8/28, 2.8/35, 1.4/58 3.5/58bellows 2.8/100 and the 3.5/135

Bruce: I have the 58/1.8, and 135/3.5 and both are very good lenses. I also have a 300/5.6 that seems to have potential, but has some fungus issues. I'm not that great at taking these things apart, so may have to sell the 300 and another 58 in similar condition to someone that can clean them. Pity as I wanted to see what the 300 can do. I've been watching for a 58/1.4 at reasonable cost and would love to have a 25mm, but those go even higher. The 100mm is also on my watch list.

woodrim, I see a couple here for sale now! I can get occasional good prices here, good place to watch! http://www.keh.com/search?store=camera&brand=Brand&category=Class&k=topcor&s=1&bcode=Brand&ccode=Class&grade=Grade&sprice=0&eprice=0&r=SE&e
I see 35 and 135 go for cheap here. Sorry, Im not much of a tele shooter as Im stuck in the city no need for a 300. The 35 and 135 so far my favs! 
You did a nice job with your shoots woodrim

Here are some more recent shots from this lens. I went to a beautiful location, Magnolia Gardens/Plantation, only to discover I had forgotten to take my lens bag with me. Only had the Topcor 35mm with the NEX-5N. I hope this isn't a sign of my memory these days. If I post on this site as someone new, you'll know I crossed the line.

Hey, that's a pretty good combo to be "stuck" with! I must say again that the sensor on the 5N especially really does a great job with most lenses.

Yes, as of a few hours ago, I replaced on my camera a Topcor 58m f1.8 with a Zeiss Planar 50mm, f1.7, and I'm going through withdrawal. Of course, we all know that there is nothing "wrong" with the Zeiss, but I do miss the Topcor.

Sorry Mir, but be assured it comes into loving hands!
Yep, bought it especially for that purpose. The seller is a colleague of mine from a photo club, nice to know that.
And of course will I be showing results here later!

Re-reading this thread has prompted me to post some results taken today with my copy of the RE 35mm f2.8 (in black), which I bought after first reading this thread. All were taken with the Oly OM-D E-M5. All the pictures below were taken at f4 - this seems to give the best balance of sharpness and background blur IMHO. The lens has a bit of glow at f2.8, which reduces at f3.3 and is gone at f4. I have boosted contrast with a small curves adjustment, but very little PP is needed with this lens. It is a very fine lens indeed.
I hope my efforts are not too embarrassing in the exalted company of the superb pictures already posted.
