Lots of nice results here. A reminder that "newer, sharper, less CA, less vignetting", etc is only tangentially related, if at all, to "makes a better photograph" .
I respect Lloyd Chambers for the yoeman's work he does detailing the optical qualities of the latest lenses, but when was the last time you saw a photo on his site that approached the quality, as a photograph, of some of the ones posted in this thread? That's right, never.
"Better", newer glass is no substitute for vision and craft.
Thanks to all those who have posted here.

I had never heard of this lens when I bought it and a Canon 35mm/2.8 and VI-T body back in the 1970's. I was the second owner at the time. The VI-T and 35mm lens are gone. I've added the Nikkor 8.5cm/2.0 to the 50/1.4. Two small brass and chrome pieces of photography history.
Use them well!

I think most of these were shot at f5.6, with the last three at f1.4...

I just picked up a 50/1.4 Nikkor-S (serial # 331xxx) am testing it out on my Leica M-D.
First shot wide open - crazy background!

A joy to shoot on a Leica M3, and makes an interesting portrait lens:

Does some dramatic flare
Leica iiic, Nikkor SC Tokyo 5cm f1.4 w/Tri-X
One of the early LTM versions in the 5005xxxx series, on it's new home, a Leica iiic. Fun "walking around" combo.
