FS NAVITAR 75 1,3 for m4/3 cameras

I happen to have a few copies of this lens, new surplus, that I bought from a friend who produces video equipment.
To my surprise, when I tested the lens on my G1 and compared it with a Summilux r 50, results with the Navitar for bokè, color, depth, tridimensionality etc.were as good if not better. (examples with pana G1.Both lenses full open)

I think the lens is good enough for a lot of jobs requiring a 150mm f 1,3 equivalent with summilux look.

Price 300 euros including shipping, Paypal or bank transfer.
Regards.

Hi,

I tried another version of that lens. Nice rendering and sharp" enough. Two questions:
Can you focus to infinity with those lenses? Also, do you get any vignetting when stopping down?
 
Jonas,
yes, it focuses to infinity with the standard c-m4/3 adapter, and no vignetting when stop-ping down. I'll find an example and post it.
