Certainly a nice set of images.
But I think that at almost 1.4kg most people would be better off with a lens like the Nikkor 180mm f2.8 AF which weighs almost half the Zeiss and with AF.
Add in the ED element as well as multi-coating and you have a lens that's up there with all the Nikkor legends. And if you shop around you can pick up an older model for around 250€.
Anyway, I like your lens a lot and might pick one up if there is an F mount version.

Thanks! Of course, more lighter version with AF most comfortable. But and a picture other, in my opinion. I think this version doing very "air" and "live" pictures because of their aberrations.

How do you mount the lens? Its flange distance must be quite a bit smaller than for EOS (about 29mm?).

As explaining for me, this lens block can to cover even a medium format. In 1945, after the Second World War several dozen Sonnar 180 lens blocks, was gone in the Soviet Union as reparations. In USSR original lens block was insert in a new rim with M42 screw mount by unknown specialist (it seems on the optical factory). I have bought with m42 and correct FFD for M42. I do not know how this doing, but compensation lens not used. This rim absolutely not similar on rims what used on Jupiter-6/Jupiter 6-2
Weight of my version about 1,1kg

You know I don't believe this lens is biting sharp; but having said that it renders very very nicely.

In my opinion, this lens is quite sharp. I do not like overly sharp lenses.
