I was GIVEN a 1982 CONTAX RTS II Quartz with the 50mm f1.4 Planar lens so I tested it in Brentwood High Street at full aperture. Camera had been banged so frame counter does not work, but lens seems OK.
I found the Contax RTS II Quartz had some 'light leaks' such as the reddish area on THIS photo -- I had already replaced the rotten mirror bumper foam so now i had to take off the door and replace two strips of foam there -- door now fits well and NO light leaks !
(it was handheld with lanthanum first version of lens. Please feel free to enlarge it, there are multiple details there and a rather small amount of noise)

A great shot, Donat! And not only that, but a far from easy or obvious one, too! I love the composition, and the way you could create a real moodiness despite the not-so-favorable light.
