I've got the Nokton 50/1.1. All of the photos in this gallery of my high 
school chums were taken with it. The collection was met with a collective 
yawn from the group, but I like the lens's performance.

I have the Pentax Limited 43 in LTM. I've got it on an olive green Bessa T 
with a 40mm CV external viewfinder. The only place I have seen the Hexanon 
60/1.2 is on the web site of KevinCameras in L.A. (can't think of his name). 
He ain't cheap.
