Default Yashinon DX 50mm f/1.4 image thread

I really lucked into this m42 lens, a bit dusty on the outside but otherwise in nearly mint condition, yesterday for 19 euro at a second-hand store.

I understand it was made by Tomioka, probably mid to late 1960's, and it seems to be quite highly regarded from what I read online, some saying it compares well with the Takumars.

These are just a few early sample shots, and taken in the high sun of the day unfortunately, but to begin to get an idea. Pleased so far...

1st shot is quite interesting, very nicely done.

I am really loving this lens more and more; started getting some really interesting results out of it wide open at night. Note that the one with the trees is pushing lens and camera to absolute limits-- it was so dark I could barely see the outlines of the trees with my own eyes:
