No problem :) Suggestions are always welcome.

Thank you for your suggestions, Travis. The harpist and the angels are my favourite test subjects. I've shot them with every lens and at every possible angle :)

Soligor Elitar 135mm F2.8 on Samsung NX30

Added another lens to my Exakta – the Soligor Elitar 135mm F2.8. Now it looks perfect!

I have the *ist. It's a cute little camera but its pentamirror viewfinder is poor and not suitable for serious manual focusing. The early 2000s design isn't fashionable either. I'm thinking a ...

Right. It should be a modern camera (autofocus, PASM, auto load/winding) that can work well with manual lenses. It could borrow some features from early AF cameras like an optional split image ...

With only a slight blur in the corners.

Nice camera! I have a very similar one called Ansco Viking. Experimenting with the open shutter and a piece of tracing paper I found that focus is stuck somewhere near infinity. I guess it's ...
