Okay, so I may have gone a bit mad lately with the lenses included in my signature on the forum. Truth is I raided the attic for lenses and I found some interesting lenses that I used to have with my old pentax. All were in perfect condition. I've also aquired an old Carl zeiss Planar F1.7 T* from a well know auction website for £51 inc delivery - cheaper than the nifty 50! The Zeiss is supposed to be one of the sharpest lenses available. I'm hoping that by using primes again I'll think a hell of a lot more about focus, composition and then let the lens do the rest for colour and contrast.
I tend to use the 50mm Canon mkII so much I though that I'd like to have one lens that's sharp wide open and gives really great bokeh. I've been looking at getting a Pentax super takumar 50mm 1.4 which is rumoured to be as sharp wide open as the canon at F2.8.
I finally got my contax/m42 adapters this week and I intend to try out these this weekend (weather permitting).
Anyone else with a similar interest? I'll try and post some pics here at the weekend.

I have a 135mm MC Sonnar Carl Zeiss F3.5, and it's gorgeous both in build quality and optical quality, and the bokeh is just so nice compared to a lot of modern lenses. here's a shot of our cyk, and despite what he says, he is ginger
