I have one 135mm Hanimex lens (plastic case) and I found it awful (completely out of centre).
In the course of my testing I found that Pentacon 50mm f1.8 lens (Praktica, ~$50 on ebay) produces quite decent star images, provided it is stopped down to f4 - f5.6. The same applies to majority of Zenit lenses as well.
Generally, prime lenses perform better than zoom's... Of course, if they are in the same price category.
