Old skool lens show and tell!

Hey guys, i thought that we could use a more of show and tell with our equipment..esp on lenses. Basically old vintage lenses on new school bodies, but honestly i would like to see all kinds...i just want to compare (and brag) about my growing collection but also i really want to see what others are using (yes im nosey). Would like to see both still and clips of the said lens you post about. But again not a hard rule. Please post some info on the lens and how you are using it (settings ect) if you can remember. I need to get some pics posted soon but at least wanted to get this thread started.

Currently im using a T3i with a m42 adaptor mount.
I havent tried to get other type of mounts yet.

cant seem to imbed/post the photos so for right now ill post link....

Love the Helios i am using in the dog and cat pics. The Focal is a k-mart lens that has totaly shocked me in build quality and pict quality. I plan on getting more of the focals since the Takumars are sky rocketing!!!

Screengrabs from our Teaser shoot last weekend. Not the greatest resolution so you can't really see the sharpness of the lenses.

Super Takumar 50mm 1.4

Super Takumar 135 2.5. This one needs a little more contrast added for sure.

Not sure if this is the 135 2.5 or my Vivitar 105 2.8
