Took this out today with my son.
These are all shot on my EOS-M.
This is my first time using the lens, and all hand held. I am sure I would improve with a tripod. :0)
Slight PP adjustments.
And with a a bit more of PP, My fav artistic shots.

A limit to my EOS-M to be sure, when shooting wide open lots of light and the max shutter is 4000... :0( _________________ Roger Lund

the Revue Cameras, which have been also sold by the German Source "Quelle" brand, but sometimes

these Stores quite often here into germany when i was a teenager. |

yeah, I like the crazy bokeh. :0)
I'll take a look at the Yashica ML 50/1.7, thinking of something a little faster might be fun. open to suggestions. _________________ Roger Lund

I like to use most of my lenses one stop down, I find very few lenses work for me wide open. but I still like fast lenses and prefer my Rokkor 50 / 1.4 to the 1.7. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

NIce samples,
what I like about these PORSTs is very gentle rendering of shadows, perfect contrast (not too contrasty) and low glow -same goes for Cosinon-s lenses (PORST is their rebrand).
Same goes for f1.4 versions (however I found coating better on Cosinon version).
with my head to head testing my f1.4 cosinon beaten Yashinon DS-M 50/1.4 in picture quality department (however handling of yashinon is top notch)
p.s. I am so glad that weather here in Europe is getting better abd allows us vintage-lens-maniacs to go out and shoot with some good light,

Heh, I'm in USA, but been buying these from you guys over in Europe. ^^
I think my next lens needs to be a 1.4, and i'll stop it down one to sharpen it up if needed. I'll start a thread for votes. _________________ Roger Lund

Yes, there are some places that f1.7 should not go - and bright sunshine outdoors is one of those places.
Without any neutral density filters to reduce the light, the best that you can hope for at ISO 100 will be just under f2.8 @ 1/4000
f1.7 in bright sun is just pushing it too far.
Move to the shade or shadows and use indirect light if you want to keep the f1.7 aperture.
I am glad that you are having so much fun with your lenses

Good luck on that J-3. They are either great or mediocre, depending on initial quality control and subsequent treatment. Those of us on this side of the Atlantic who have gone through the process to buy from eastern Europe and been lucky are reluctant to give the lens up. If you find one in the States whose owner is eager to sell, be very cautious.
I bought this lens in February and when it finally arrived it really needed a CLA. It just came back and I'm more than happy with it.
This JPG is strictly OOC.

Understood. I hope to find someone who has a good one , that just doesn't use it and in that case I would be happy to offer fair price for the time and effort. _________________ Roger Lund

I paid 10€ at the local flee market. It came with a complimentary red sock as a lens pouch
It's quite nice so far, but the bokeh can look a bit busy at times.
I did a quick hand held series of pictures starting at 1.7 and going up a half stop each time:
