"For taking pictures in evening light and night scenes the AUTO JAPAN TOMIOKA® 55mm F=1.2 has been created."
I own this lens since last year for about 500usd in Mexico. I consider it absurd that it is being sold in about 1100usd to 1350usd on ebay.
I'd glued the aperture pin and I'd glued the original pentax M42 to K adapter in order to prevent it to fall from the camera; then replace the orginal focus rubber using a pentax rubber; I hope that if something is going to drop is the reselling price  Yes, I'm a criminal, but it's criminaly practical also 
Sharpness, wide open, is not as good as the Pentax-K 50mm 1.2 but the bokeh is unique.
Aberrations disapears closing two clics the aperture.
Edited to add a this note: very easy to focus. There's is a narrow gap between the 10m and infinitum, that's is "bingo" if you nail manual-focus in that area (check last pic), use live view and focus peaking to get best result.
