The first vintage Nikkor I bought for Df was the Nikkor-Q.C 135mm f/2.8. With its four elements its design is what @BrianS calls a "unique formula". Not necessarily a Sonnar but it's not a double-Gauss either.
Fast forward to this year and I was buying the Nikkor 135mm f/3.5 because of its famed Sonnar qualities.
Yesterday I took the two lenses and made side-by-side comparisons.
The results are amazingly close to each other.
