Rollei/Zeiss 80mm Planar - SL66 variety
I've long been curious about how my old Rollei SL66 80mm lens would perform on the A7Rii. Thanks to the newly price-reduced Luland helicoid adapter*, I can now find out.
My 80mm is an early one, before the HFT coatings came along, so it exhibits veiling flare if there is a light source near the edges. But it does have a nice 'glow' wide open, and sharpens respectably by ƒ5.6. I had forgotten all about the 5-blade aperture, which gives some pretty funky OOF highlights.
5-sided bokeh balls...

A tight crop from the vintage 80mm Rollei Planar, showing the unusual 5-sided highlights. I rather like them, actually.
