After shooting with all the Zeisses and Leicas, I wanted some rest and took from the shelf latest M42 version of Meyer-Optik 1.8/50 (plastic fantastic, same build as latest Praktica bayonet version). Well, the lens is really weak in corners until f8, but I'm grounded by its color rendering! Both images developed from RAW with CaptureOne at default settings. No PP at all!
