This one and these type of lenses in general are indeed very rewarding, after having mastered their razor thin DOF, with rich colors, great contrast and very smooth and creamy bokeh!
They can still be found for rather small amounts, yet prices are increasing fast over the last months, so the phase where they were neglected sleepers is over, so I cannot more than emphasize to start now with this quite different type of photography if so interested!!
Happy 4th July btw.!!
Klaus,
What connection is needed to mount the lens?
I have adopters for M42 and Pentax screw mount for the Sony A7R

Those lenses have no focusing mechanism, so that need to mbe added first, as well as a suitable camera mount then.
I have described that here: http://photographyoftheinvisibleworld.blogspot.de/2015/09/how-to-modularily-mount-projection-or.html
Thanks for this link. I have to get a system as there is so much versatility and wide open aperture is no disadvantage in many cases.
