WOW...the flares on these things are insane. So cool. Kinda look like Super Speeds. What's the image circle on 'em? Don't they almost cover full frame??!

It really looks like you might enjoy the delight of the uncompressed ikonoskop A-cam.
That way you can buy a truck load of old rare c-mount lenses for much less and get a very similar result for a heck of a lot less money.

It's my understanding they do cover full frame.

Skin Tone Test with the Wollensak as Promised: NSFW
PW: skin
The lens is an F5.0, but i stopped down to a F5.6 for most of this, that 1/3 stop makes a big difference. ISO was set to 2500 for a large majority of this. Only the very tight close ups are at 800, where i could get exposure. A lot of the "over exposure" is the flare lifting the mid tones up, there is very little you can do to control it. Its one of the quirks of this lens. One of the oddest, but good things is that the Wollensak lifts the black level up so high with its veil flare, that it pushes it up out of the range of the noise floor. One of the reasons that despite being shot at 2500 ISO, the image is so clean. Makes me want to experiment with heavy ultracon filters on normal lenses.

I believe that K35 18mm does not cover full frame.

Er, okay...wow.
I relate to the 'old glass' sentiment. Digital sensors on MP's or some of the other more modern glass looks way too zingy and videoish to me although will win hands down when photographing a chart (to wit : the new Ghost Rider and Drive Angry films I was constantly taken out of the movies by the over-sharp look) eliminating the "film look" barrier that many shooters strive for. Not to say this is a bad thing - just not my taste personally. The softer look of older lenses - Zeiss Speeds, K35s, old anamorphics etc seem to give a much more impressionistic film-like quality to the image. Low exposure a la David Fincher also assists this film-look quality I find.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it laso depends on what images you want to find/create.
I found myself desperately missing a 14mm master or RPP (ouch, there is none..) the oter day.
There is no one right thing or glass" IMHO. You just need to find the right thing for the image you want or shoot on the premises of your equipement.
Masters dictates.
So does my crappy Angie.
Both can be fun... If you befriend them...

Black in white while getting ready, to full-colour when dressed is an awesome technique. Were those all SuperSpeed MKII 65? I love earth-tones, and that lens (or is it your colour correction/grade) really accentuates them... particular in the skin tones.
By the way, Timur, there was no password on the vimeo clip you linked to... Man, when ISO2500 (with incandescent light no less) is sampled down to 1080p, it actually looks surprisingly clean. I'd have thought the blue-channel would be hurting pretty bad, but it doesn't seem so.
