My favorite one is the Topcor 58mm f/1.4. Superb bokeh lens, and perfect focal lenght for portrait on a crop sensor DSLR. |

Hard to have just one.
For beautiful models or children in color I like the Planar 100 or Rokkor 1.2/58.
For B+W I prefer the Biotar T 1.5/75 with a green filter (film or digital).
For dogs and animals. The Biogon 2/35 has been amazing at delivering the goods on the RF. Maybe it is a bit short sometimes.
Planar100
Rokkor (desaturated light was bad color)
Biotar75
ZM Biogon2/35
And for those who have not seen it (few I'm sure  ) here is a thumb to my best Paco shot I will have. ZM Biogon 2/35

I don't take pictures of people and I'm not sure, if animal/statue portraits counts... anyway...
portrait of this lady was taken by S-M-C Takumar 50/1.4 (she was... my grandfather's teacher of fishing)
another portrait taken by S-M-C 50/1.4 - as you can see, gathers are not perceptible:
This one was taken by MC Pancolar 80/1.8. Lady, who owns the old tommy, liked it (I don't wonder, she got the picture for free  )
This doggie belongs to my brother, so I can learn upon her. Taken by MC Pentacon 50/1.8 in car...
same object, different lens: Biotar T 75/1.5:
All af the lenses performed as I needed, so I like them all

I discovered the Pentacon the other (cold!) day and took a few shots down at the farm. Unfortunately they were only snapshots and the lens was set to F4, but I find it lovely and sharp either way. Hopefully someone will have some proper shots to post, but in the meantime:
Wide open it has some nice bokeh but prone to slight CA...

I use other 100-135mm time to time . May be my preferred are smc-takumar 1,8/85 , helios-40 , J-9 .
Helios-40-2 : (Dslr, f/4)

Excuse me, if I ask again, but with regard to the combination of 42mm lenses with Nikon bodies I'm still a freshman: Does this mean that with this lense and a 42mm-adapter on my D700 I can't focus to infinity, but will be able to shoot full portraits?
With my Jupiter 9 I can only shoot partial portraits. The lense is extraordinary, but I don't feel (and don't have the money) to buy another digital body like the Canon 5D.
Thanks
Thomas

Thanks, Attila.
How is the Tele Ennalyt 135mm f2.8? Is 40€ a good price, if it is in good shape and comes with the original box?
And how about a Jupiter 11 M39 for 40€?

Jupiter-11 is one of the sharpest 135mm lenses with really nice bokeh. There are two M39 versions: For rangefinders (slim) - on DSLR you can use it only as close-up lens. And for SLR (fat), which can hit infinity if you have proper adapter. €40 is not bad price, but with a bit of luck you can find it cheaper. For this price you can find faster version of this lens - Jupiter 37A (135/3.5). This one can be find even in MC version, but it's very rare.

I checked Attilas pictures in the mf-gallery, but I'd prefer some remarks about usage and IQ. 40€ OK for this lense?

I have no experience with this lens, 40 EUR fine for any 135mm lens in my opinion. Take it, test it and share with us
