Since buying this little beauty things at work have become insanely complicated, so I had almost no time to try it out properly. I just managed to take some random shots around.
However, I'm absolutely amazed by this lens' qualities, so I'll share some of these random snapshots here, hoping they do justice to the lens' capabilities

Both reasonably sharp and smooth bokeh it seems!

The mount is virtually identic to contax rf. I read somewhere (as I probably already written in the thread quoted by lightshow) that there are some microns differences between the two.
The fact is that the impression of the lens not reaching infinity I had in the beginning was probably due to an error in mounting, so it probably wasn't perfectly aligned. In the other outs I did with it I never had that impression again.
As for the price, they are quite sought after by collectors, and kinda rare - here in Italy at least: the cheapest I found apart from mine was at €250 at the local camera fair back in april. I was quite lucky and got it for a very reasonable price.

Yes, they're beautiful. Too bad they're so expensive - I'll have to wait for another bit of luck.
