I pulled this lovely old lens out of its case for the first time in about, well, 2 years today! It's on my list of lenses I own but don't use, so should probably sell, but I'm not so sure now! 
Most images at f/4, click for larger versions.

Lots of micro-contrast, some pop, warm colours and variable bokeh, depending on distance from the subject. The last image looks almost painted! This is a great lens, and it really feels (and smells) like you are using a piece of Russian wartime machinery!

Beautiful daffodil shots. I like the last shot as well.
It's a beautiful lens and somewhat hard to find.
Here are a few shots from mine:

Cool shots Graham.
Any character differences between this Tair and Meyer 'zebra' 138/2.8? color, contrast, sharpness, bokeh?

Thanks all, it's a lovely lens to work with. If I get the chance, I shall compare it to the Meyer/Pentacon lens, but to me it's more like the Contax Sonnar.
