Very artistic and nicely composed. Colors are nice!
This is encouraging. I picked up one and it was delivered yesterday.
Will get to try over the weekend.
EDIT:
Appears that I lucked out, and got a "1Q" version, and the optics are properly collimated.
One taken at f/2.8:

Nice pictures, grainy! Did you use a bellows or extension tubes? Pretty good for a lens that not long ago was pretty much dismised as "junk" by most people

WNG555 wow that's some real crazy bokeh!
Totally different, but both very nice results, they all look like impressionistic paintings.

Hi scsambrook it looks like you're a domiplan fan! Yes the lens was on extension rings as the flowers are indeed tiny.
Attached is a picture showing the minimum focusing distance, and one done with extension rings.
Mine is also an old "1Q" version with blue coating.

Hi there,grainy! Thanks for the response and Yes, I'm 'sort of' a Domiplan fan - I have a weakness for three-legged dogs, cats who've lost their tails and parrots that can't talk . . .
I have two Domiplans (woo-hoo, huge investment there!) both of which have the IQ symbol and take 49mm filters. The earliest ones took 40.5mm accessories and -in my experience at the time - were prone to coming apart when you unscrewed anything you'd tightened up too much. My theory about all the Est German stuff is that it got steadily worse as time went by and I wonder if the "40.5mm Domiplans" were actually better than the later ones. Maybe we should have a Domiplan survey !
Your lens looks to perform very much like the one I have with the working iris - a bit "hysterical" wide open but getting quite respectable by f5.6. Try it in front of a 2x teleconverter - you get even more fun then.

Yes, pretty wild bokeh. But pixel peeping the above shot showed very good sharpness wide open, so I was relieved and thrilled.
The bokeh reminds me when I accidentally reversed the rear element of a Sonnar-derivative lens.
