Hi there Obi-Wan 
I'm not quite sure what you mean? I did post some pictures straight from Apollo - just cropped.. There are also a couple in the oversize gallery where cropped but not resized?
What would you actually like to see?

Hi
It is also sold under a number of other names.. There are quite a few threads here on MFL that mention it - or its clones! I had not ever heard of it until I saw its crappy picture on the Ebay auction.. now it seems they are everywhere. I thinks it's quite fine for 10 dollars and postage? I do not have an 85mm to compare it with, but it has a delicacy of 'painting' that I like, and a 'glow' that almost reminds me of Leicas! lol
It also crops up as a Navitar - there seems to be a similar (but different) Navitar that is a f1.3 - SOME but not all avoid it seems to project too far back for m4/3 and maybe your NEX? However many do mount it on their 'G' series m4/3 here's a link:

The f1.4 version seems to be exactly like my Apollo however.
I benefited from the terrible description the seller gave!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290600718432?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2716wt_1344
and here it is as a 'Computar TV lens'
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FAST-1-4-75mm-BOLEX-16MM-MOVIE-CAMERA-C-MOUNT-LENS-G1-/280525798379?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item4150a3fbeb#ht_767wt_1344
and finally as the f1.3 version..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NAVITAR-1-3-75mm-BOLEX-16MM-CAMERA-C-MOUNT-LENS-GF2-G1-/280619658450?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item41563c2cd2#ht_974wt_1344
Seems that I got a bargain!

Even 200 USD not too bad for a good 75mm f1.4 , you made a damn fine deal.
