All i can say: it's really a lovely lens! If you get the opportunity to get one, do it.
Used it on a weekend trip last week with the family, when i just got it. Here are some examples, first one is at f/4, the other 3 are all at f/2.8. It became an instant favorite!!

Nice samples, it seems a good one.
I'd be curious to see how it compares to the kaleinar 5, since I was not certain about which to buy of the two.
Then I got a chance to buy a kaleinar for €25, and went for that.

Thank you, i guess it's a good copy indeed!
I have never seen a Kaleinar 5 for sale, over here that is, but from some quick samples i have seen just now on the net it seems a very interesting lens.... (that damn thing called GAS hits me again....)

Nice photo of the kitten.
Is this lens the same as the Pentacon 2.8/100? I have that one.

The older lenses have a lot less contrast. Compare this to a modern 100mm prime and you'll see what I mean. Although the modern lens will look more crisp, there is something that the older glass seems to have.
#2 suits this lens best of the bunch I think. I'm not sure the cat pic is what this lens will do best at as the detail is no quite there.

The Trioplan is a love/hate type of lens. It's one of my favourite and most used, but I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Yes, that should be the same as far as i know! |
Perhaps yours has more aperture blades. Mine only has six. |

There are at least two types of the Orestor, the Zebra type with 14 blades and the Orestor equal to the Pentacon
Edit: there is also two Zebra types, so at least 3 different designs.

It also depends on the camera (sensor). Most legacy lenses were very contrast-poor on my E-P1.
But on the Fuji X-E1 they produce a lot more contrast. |

But reason could be grease condensation residues so frequently found on Pentacons and very much age related. Clean that off and Mayer / Pentacon still rocks!

Not the sharpest lens out there, but with very nice rendering. Stopped down, the bokeh (with my sample) is pretty weird, due to the not-rounded aperture blades, but at f/2.8-4 it's very pleasent.
Example, f/2.8 and 5.6
