People usually say not enough sharp wide open and excellent sharp stopped down as you prove it. I think this is good character a bit soft wide open not harm and help to increase variety of usage.

Suprisingly strong colors! Is this natural or was the camera set to a vivid mode? Or is this lens so contrasty?

I like the colour and composition of #3 and the sharpness and detail captured in #5. Nicely done.

I had this lens but never really warmed up to it and sold it. I'm not really sure why.

I had same issue with my first black M42 SLR lens, I sold it too. I bought a Silver SLR lens M39 after, still with me, experience was better.
and ... I bought RF lenses Laughing I have 3-5 copies just let you to know how I like it Laughing all different mount edition, stunning lenses.

Nice samples.

They may not be above f/4, but were they f/4, f/2.8, or f/2?

My MC M42 version is soft at f/2, a bit better at f/2.8, and is sharp at f/4. I know some M42 versions are sharp at f/2. And my LTM version (black, not silver) is sharp wide open, which makes me think all LTM versions are sharp.

Thanks. Seems like the ones with the soft effect wide open are generally the M42 MC models. I expect the M39 is not marked MC. The output from your copy is similar to that from my LTM version.
