The video does look good.

I'm sitting here at my desk amazed at the quality of the work you've done here, Defragged. It looks stunning, plus you've revitalised and revived a lovely piece of engineering. Outstanding.

This is the lens now rebuilt with silky smooth action and apart from the odd minor scuff on the exterior paintwork it is now in perfect working order. It's been a long day today but well worth all the effort.

Thank you very much Urbanmeister. There is certainly a measure of satisfaction to be had in acquiring and repairing vintage lenses and giving them a new lease of life as well as using them. In years to come, a great many manual vintage lenses will still be servicable and working as intended whilst many of their modern counterparts will only be fit for paperweights when their high end unsourceable electronic components fail as they surely will.
For anyone interested in seeing one of these old Sonnars being put through its paces, there's a lovely old gent based around Otley in Yorkshire who has a passion for vintage 35mm medium format and large format cameras and monochrome photography. He develops and prints his own work and is clearly a mine of information and skill in this regard who is well worth checking out by anyone with similar or budding interests.
His name is Martin Henson and there's a link here to a Youtube video he made which was dedicated to the use of a 180mm f2.8 Sonnar.

Nice Sigma 17-70 2.8-4.0 from SRS. Seems to work best on K70 rather than K3ii. Very sharp. Very pleased, perfect stroll round combo. Yes I know I said no more lens purchases. Couldn't help myself.

Super lens - and significantly lighter than the D-FA* 70-200 f2.8 - I think you'll enjoy it

Is your S5 primarily for stills or video?
Best regards
