Vintage plossls (Halloween, Silvertop, etc)

Just wondering if anyone owns and/or uses the classic '80s and '90s Celestron Plossls? The three main sets I believe are Ultimas, Silvertops and Halloween. Strictly speaking the Ultimas are a pseudo-Masuyama 5-element design, I think.

I just bought 26mm and 10mm Halloween Plossls on IIS classifieds and am waiting for them to arrive. I'm sure it's mainly nostalgia that prompted my purchase but you do see posts on CN from time to time where people are still using them or trying to complete their set of all focal lengths.

Wouldn't mind my own set from 10mm upwards.

Any old school Plossl lovers out there?
