I have handled the Venezuelan made ones. In fact, the prototypes were tested with some of my lenses. 50, 85 and 135 Sonnars work OK. IIRC 35mm 2.5 Nikkor OK. They will NOT work with wideangle Biogons, either 21 or 35mm. Amedeo makes a special, non RF coupled adapter for those.

Terao -- I think you'll like that NHS set. You should get yourself the 25/4 also, which is rangefinder coupled in the Nikon and Contax versions (unlike the M39 version). It's a fine lens.
I would recommend getting the Cosina S mount lenses while they're still available new -- I don't know how many were made in the first place (fewer than what Nikon made, I am sure), so I wouldn't want to count on their availability on the used market.

KoNickon: thanks for the advice, certainly the S lenses make a lot of sense and I may get the ones that I don't already have in Leica mount. A 25 and 35 very much on the cards for that reason, and I love my 21mm Skopar screwmount so much that I may get that in Nikon as well. Just for being a Nikonian its also essential for me to get the 85mm, its such an icon...
Oh and when I win the lottery I guess I'll get the SP2005 body
