So I finally acquired a CZJ 50mm f/1.8 Pancolar. Although it looks great, the focusing is stiff and the diaphragm won't close. What the heck, why not try it like this?
Based on my findings I think the lens performs at its best at the closest possible focusing distance, and wide-open. The bokeh in this situation is just unreal. From now on, the Pancolar will be my #1 choice for close-up (not macro) shots.
See for yourself...

I'm sure you will get mad with CZ Flektogon 35mm f/2.4
It focuses at 19cm with a magnification near the macro 1:2
Great Shots !
That glass is really superb =)
