Cropped to 4/3 format to take out vignetting , SONY NEX-3. Processed images, color, contrast , sharpening adjusted.
Most portraits are wide open, visible from bokeh, others are F8, except last one which is wide open too.

Beautiful, this time of day is my favourite to shoot colour, that warm soft light.

Very impressive lens, it is very sharp and contrasty but also looks nicely vintage.

This was state of the art in the 1940s, Ektars were the first lenses to use lanthanum glass and Kodak were leaders in coating lenses.

Ooh, fantastic BW.

Seems it has that fabled 'Leica glow' to me, and the resolution is impressive.

But please, tell me honestly.... How are the haptics? Wink

What a great set! Your lovely lady shines as usual and I love the way you have captured the texture of her coat and scarf. I know what the fabric feels like just by looking at it.

Bought also one at a very good price, not as good looking as Attila's, but the glass is EX++ and it will be here soon.
