THE TAKING LENS : cheap vintage glass

I was always interested in how different taking lenses with work with anamorphic lenses and how much character would come through even behind the anamorphic optics. 
I figured I will do a little test of the cheaper manual lenses I currently own. The test was for image quality and flaring. 
 
All lenses used with Isco ultra star anamorphic lens with Focus Module. All shot on the GH4 using the 4K photo mode. Some shots may not have critical focus as it was a single man job. Graded shots at the end. All graded shots share the same setting and not ideal but just to give a basic idea. Would appreciate any comment on which image you prefer. 

Lens list

#02 Pentax Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 
#03 Pentax Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 with cheap focal reducer
