My latest acquisition! Between this and the 50/1.4 all my other lenses are gathering dust. These are beauties!

A couple of initial efforts:

Super-Tak (not SMC) @f3.5
My usual backyard birdhouse bokeh test. I'm finding this a fairly sharp lens though the f3.5 aperture limits the bubble size. There might be a small amount of swirl but it might require that I get a lot closer to my subject. The adapter, of course, makes it stick out a bit but this is a reasonably small/light lens. If I'm not working quickly, this is a fine normal lens.

Another with the 28mm SuperTak @ f5.6 (ISO 4000) using a full-length helicoid adapter. I racked it out pretty far; the lens was pushing on the leaves. SilverEfex2 for some grunge.
