Personally I dig this weird little fella
It's an old Soviet 16mm film projector lens adapted to a different vintage lens's helicoid then adapted to Micro 4/3.
It's a 50mm f/1.2 lens and it takes some weird photos. It's not perfect (especially if the area is well lit) but it takes some interesting photos with a little practice.
Edit: And being a lens made for 16mm film it takes pictures just like a normal micro 4/3 50mm lens would.
Could you post some of the photos? It'd be interesting to see.
My favourite lense is the old Nikon ED AF Nikkor 180mm 1:2.8, it has the same design since 1986, the only thing changed was the barrel.
It's increadibly sharp for it's age, but the auto focus is very slow, because it doesn't have it's own motor as far as I understand and relies on the motors from the camera body.
Here is a example picture:
Here's a link to a small album of some shots I can share made using the lens. The shots with multiple minis in it the minis are at most 6 inches apart.
Here's a pic I took at about midnight using the lens as well. I hope to do more using the lens with reflections and small light sources.
Here's a cool vid of being able to focus on things behind the subject. Behind the mini by about a foot is my monitor displaying an image.
I'm currently in the process of putting a bunch of my pictures on my Deviantart‡ account, I haven't done a lot yet because I don't want to flood it all at once but it's a slow process of uploading.
‡ It's SFW and will stay that way, don't worry.
