Today I accompanied my wife to the stables and took some photos while she was riding. The lens was Pentacon 135/2.8 Preset, which I bought from another forum member. I had earlier bought a Meyer/Pentacon to Nikon adapter, an interchangeable back mount cone. Even with that, I couldn´t reach infinity, so I had to grind a millimetre or so from the adapter. Fortunately it took only about five minutes to fix it. Smile

Nikon D700 body, ISO 200, apertures either f/2.8 or f/4.

15 blades make a smooth bokeh. The focus is a bit stiff, maybe I should try a re-lube some day.

Superb presentation ! I expect this is zebra lens, there is two pre-set Pentacon earlier zebra and later non zebra finish.

Such a fine lens, and a lovely set. The first cat picture is my fave Smile

No, this is later all-black version. Isn´t there at least 3 different all-black body styles? Version 1 has knurled metal focusing ring, Version 2 has square-grid focusing ring (this is my copy) and Version 3 has the front-end of the body flush in a straight line with the dedicated lens hood.
