What 55/1.4 or 50/1.4 lenses (possibly F1.7, F2 too) are suitable for shooting in the pictorial style?
PK, M42 or T2 mount.

In afraid my suggestions are both in mounts other than those you ask for. Either the CZ Planar 50/1.4 (QBM or C/Y mount) or the Minolta 58/1.4. |

Minolta 55mm 1.8 is also very good. |

Not knowing which body you have, I'm going to ignore that.
Rokkor 50/1.4 which has the same formula as the Rokkor 58/1.2 which is my favourite.
I also like my early Helios 44
S-M-C Tak 55/1.8
Topcor RE 58/1.4

For the M42 mount, there is CZJ Pancolar 50/1.8 which is capable of producing paintery-like shots. |

I think any of the 50 or 55mm lenses made in the 1960s and 70s will be fine for 'pictorial' work - although perhaps it's prudent to enquire how you understand 'pictorial'. In my mind, it means landscapes and cityscapes - large vistas where fine detail is subordinate to the larger elements in the photo. in other words, a mountain rather than details of a flower in the foreground, or a cathedral rather than one of the stone carvings on the building. At least, that was the understanding when I learned my photo basics back in the 1950s . . . but the meanings of words change over time

Thanks for the replies.
What you say about Chinon 55 / 1.4 (M42)? Is it a lens suitable for this purpose? |

I think it is utterly suited for that style.
Here are some of my shots attempting just that:
Autumn series

I ordered the Chinon 55 / 1.4 M42 (not multicoated version), yesterday. About 70euro with the shipment included.
I hope I made a good choice. |
