Finally bought a copy of this lens. I wanted something lighter than the 2,5 version and check whether quality is comparable. It is. Here on extension tube.

I have the M39 version which I suspect is the same optics. I did a 3-way comparison once with a CZJ 3.5/135 Sonnar and a Komura 3.5/135 in M39. The Canon wasn't quite as sharp as the Sonnar, about the same as the Koomura, but the problem it had was low contrast, much lower than the Sonnar, but slightly better than the Komura which was very poor in macro and micro contrast. However, the contrast problem was fixed with a couple of clicks in Photoshop and then the results were pretty nice.

In this case I had microcontrat to spare. I will see in duller lighting conditions.

Same lens. Like it very much. Of course the short distance helps with the bokeh. But it seems to me exceptionally creamy.
