I glued an old 50mm 1.8 pentacon lens to my d5000, max focusing distance is about 2.5m, but boy is it sharp as a portrait lens with closer subjects… Too bad the “focus point” or whatever it’s called is about 0.5cm long, so a bit of camera shaking can defocus your shot and render it total c**p :P

I disagree. I really dig the effect these lenses give the photos. They are very surreal and kinda dream like
