This 50/1.4 lens is pretty good one, it is the second version of Prakticar 50/1.4 optically different.
The first version has much more wild bokeh, though lot of japanese photog love the first one, but
I prefer the second version. The first version might be radioactive, I am not sure about this thou,
since they are all yellow cast as far as I know. The second version is much rarer now unfortunately.

I love the composition of the last image: it is very composed and geometrical, but in spite of that it still feels spontaneous.
Too bad that the bottom foot is slightly off focus. Also I would have avoided the front blurred stone to cover the heel, by moving slightly camera to the left.
