Yes I modified the second G-sonnar lens bought from KEH $149, it was almost brand new actually cleaner than my original G 90/2.8, but did modify it. This lens is designed by late Erhard Glazel as you know, very nice lens but the G1 body Kyocera made did not give justice to it, later G2 might fix the AF focus problem with this G90. Full size photo example is here > http://www.pbase.com/kkawakami/image/69121574/original

wow great result! the last one is so real! shocking
I read somewhere that the sonnar G 90 is a optical twin of the contax sonnar 85 2.8 with comparable quality
Still better to modify a G90 than a 85 2.8
