Picked up a couple of new (old  ;D) lenses for "Batman & Robin" the other day.  A slightly rough looking 28mm f2.0 Nikkor N and a Canon 50mm f1.4 s.s.c. FD breech.  The poor Canon had a greasy aperture, now fixed with a few spins of a spanner and squirts of lighter fluid.  Easy repair actually, as the lens elements themselves are contained in a front and rear group "cell".  You need only to remove the cell assembly... no disturbing the alignment or registration.  The hard part is re-assembling the breech mount mechanism... Damn near brain surgery! :o  Anyway, the Canon 50mm s.s.c. is now officially the best 50mm'ish lens I've tested wide open, and that's saying something!  I currently have 13 other fab-fifties, and have tested another half-dozen or so.  The Canon 50mm f1.4 s.s.c. of this era is the best I've tested.  Excellent resolution, color balance and contrast.  The 28mm f2.0 Nikkor N is a lot like the 28mm f2.0 Nikkor Ai up the page a bit... lovely wide open, excellent stopped down.  Superb color and contrast everywhere!

Lovely photo of gear.
I see you have a Canon FL 55mm f/1.2, I have a Canon FL 50mm f/1.4 getting an CLA right now. Same optically as the SSC version, "-" a few coating layers. I have always liked the FL/FD Optics over the EOS personally. The Nikkor 28/2 is a wonderful lens. I had a Nikkor 24/2.8 pre-Ai on my older Nikkormat FTn.
Nice glass also.

I must update my gear porn now that I have a G3 now.

I'll be the second to post a shot of the FD 135/2 on my camera:





With 8mm fisheye:


And with the Hexanon 57mm f/1.2:


Mostly the lens, but you can see the GH2 behind:

That Konica 57mm f1.2 is cool!!  Don't think I've ever seen one before... thanks!  I do love my 135mm f2.0 too, just hard to use.  Tough to hand hold and focus, and darn-near too heavy to use on a tripod.  I've been thinking about trying to figure out a tripod adapter somehow integrated into the mount adapter.  Anyone run across something like that?  How you liking the panny/leica 25mm f1.4?

 The PL 25 is an exceptional lens. It's the best normal lens I've ever owned, and I've had a lot of them for several different formats.

Here's another shot, with my two GH bodies.

Viewing the Konica Hexanon AR 57mm/f1.2 I got tempted to post a pic of my ditto 57mm/f1.4, - somewhat off-topic, - as no G-camera/lens combo.  I still do not own a adapter for my few Hexanons AR, - but as soon as the floodings in Bangkok resides, I'll get hold of one (or more). My friend own this glass as well, - and also he uses it on mFT houses, so I already know this is prime glass.
