A few days ago I bought a CZ Sonnar 85mm f2.8 in Rollei (QBM) mount for a good price. I thought converting this lens to either M42 or PK. I've done some messy conversion in the past, my Rollei Planar HTF 50/1.8 which I converted from QBM to PK was particularly ugly, the aperture as a results works half the time, the QBM conversions being notoriously hard.
I do have a Voigtlander Color Ultron 50mm f1.8 in M42 mount, an truly amazing performer. This lens has the pedigree and excels at everything, sharpness, low aberration, beautiful bokeh, great voigtlander colors. Unfortunately ever since I've gotten the 8-element Super-Tak 50/1.4 I have been playing less with the Ultron. With the arrival of the Sonnar 85/f2.8 I know I can essentially swap the rear mounts between these two lenses, but if I do so I'll lose the use of the Ultron to gain that of the Sonnar, hence the dilemma.
