I wrote about the Practica sale in the Leica-shop in Frankfurt, and bought myself two 135mm lenses, one the above Travenar made by U. Schacht from Ulm, the other one just named Jena 1:4/135mm. They were € 10 each.
I put the Travenar with an adapter in front of my D700 and went to the saturday market in Frankfurt, where I always am on saturdays, and where people drink cider (Frankfurt's speciality), eat grilled sausages and buy what they need for the wekend.
I took a few pictures which I only converted from RAW to TIFF/JPEG, set the white-point, but didn't do anything else. All at @f 5.6

Here are two of the son of a farmer-family, who sell their organically grown products and home-made jams and sausages.







Here is one from a flower-seller. I like flowers, but rarely photograph them. This I took, because I wanted to see the colours and the bokeh of the lense:





The last one shows the typical glasses for dinking cider:

#2 is a very fine portrait. You should take a print over to him, I'm sure he has never had such a good shot taken before

I already promised him that he'll get a print-out.

Here is a another one of a girl selling bread and cakes. Her hair-colour changes every half a year:



And here is a guy in obviously very good mood, beautyfying himself with cherries:




Unfortunately the focus is not on his face, but on his shirt, but I still put it here, so at least one can judge the colours.

I find this lense most astonishing, it is extremely well built, nice to the eye, and cost me only €10.
Of course if you are out of focus, this doesn't matter, but if you hit it right, this lense can produce astonishing pictures like this one of our mail-woman.

@5.6 ISO 640 As it came out of the camera. Just converted from RAW:




If you take a street-car, subway or bus in Frankfurt, you'll find that almost all of the windows have been scratched. Now of course one can regret this kind of vanadalism, but I found that if the background is interesting and the sun shines through the grafitti, all of a sudden you see interesting pictures. The scratches gleaming in the sun, the background shows blurred colours.
Here are two shots though the same window at different stations.
Data as above.
