I've decided to go for a used Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110mm.
It's much cheaper than usual because someone has screwed in a filter onto it (the lens protrudes) and taken a touch off the multi-coat at the centre of the lens. Needs testing into the light to check if flare is an issue - otherwise it should have no effect on image quality. It's been sent to me on trial and should arrive tomorrow.

Fujifilm Fujichrome Provia 100F Professional RDP-III Color
ISO 100 daylight-type film. Unprecedented clarity, rich gradation and vivid color. Wide suitability, from product work to portraiture.
Professional-quality, medium-speed, daylight-type color reversal film with ultrafine grain (RMS : 8), designed to provide medium color saturation and contrast compared to other films in the 100F series.
Suited to a wide range of applications, such as product, landscape, nature and fashion photography as well as portraiture.
Provides ideal color saturation and contrast, making it suitable for all types of subject matter, along with minimal variation in performance even in long exposures and the ability to be push-processed up to +2 stops with excellent results.
Today I received a gift like this E-6 film: PROVIA 100F, overdue for many years. How knows. As said the mistress of the film (by the way, a good professional fotograf): "the new Film... and very old. Kept me very many years all the rules in the refrigerator. Perhaps it cannot be used for its intended purpose".
However, I will try it on purpose. I love experimenting with expired film, where (even with all amendments) of any frame becomes a surprise and a gift. Moreover, with an expired F-6 has not yet been played. Considering that this film like color, and it in Moscow latitudes, in January-February, not so much (exceptions local point on new year celebrations), then send in the refrigerator before Shrovetide and spring.

Rokinon 21mm @ F1.4 -- Just arrived yesterday. Proving not to be the best lens for pet photography, so a more fair optical test for its focal length needs to come as a result of taking early morning or late afternoon scenics.
Its simply magical watching the sunset unfold slowly through the viewfinder.
Snap, wind, snap. The reassuring thunderclap of the hassy brings me back to earth.
