I got this lens from a LUGer (Hi Frank! :-)) and use it on a Beseler 
45 when doing 35mm, so it doesn't get much use, but it is sharp. I 
use it when my 50 Focotar on my Focomat 1c doesn't look crisp enough. 
These were computed for printing enlargements from microfilm, and 
have now been replaced by computer technology for the most part. They 
were around $3-4000 dollars new, but are available reasonably now. 
This one and the S-Biogon 40mm outperform all the Rodagons, 
Componons, Nikkors, etc handily.
