Wide open Canon FL 55/1.2 (1st image) vs Rokkor 58/1.2 (2nd image) on 5D II. 3rd shot with the APO Lanthar 125 macro at f2.5.

I like the Rokkor's rendition better than the Canon's. Although of the three, the Lanthar's shot would be my pick as the best in the series.

Is that some LoCA that I see? Still, I love the rendering. What's a 1.0L go for nowadays? Still in the $5K range?


A little, around $4K-4.5K from a dealer, little less on ebay or an individual.


Dang! If I had that much to spend on a lens, I'd have a hard time deciding between it and the 200 f2 L IS. Big IF!

Very quick, down and dirty shot with the Minolta Rokkor 35mm ƒ1.8 MD @1/100s ISO 100 Canon 5DMKII.

The lens is nicely sharp wide open and doesn't harass my mirror at infinity. Converted by the Latvian wizard, Dim.ka/Dmitry.

Focus errors are my doing, failing light and hand held and all that. The BG is monstrously busy but I feel it is well handled.
Will get out at the weekend hopefully to exploit the potential of this lens.

On the bright side they seem to be dropping in price again, Like the 200 1.8, Nikon 28 1.4 , Nikon 58 F1.2 it seems everyone wants one then prices skyrocket, then they start to edge down again. I notice that the Canon FD 24, 50 and 85L have increased in price at the used dealers. The 24L I have seen some priced at $1400, the 85L over $900. A year ago they could be had for $800 and $600 respectively. Between those that modify the mounts for EOS use and the G1 users the prices of these are starting to inflate astronomically high.

When the big IF happens I would say get ...... a lens that makes you happy.

Bobby I looked at your picts again and I like the color rendition of the FL, the smooth creamy bokeh of the Rokkor and the detail of the Voigtlander. Something good in all three. Do you have some more 55 FL to show?

Here's a couple of vertical shots. The 1st one was shot wide open and the 2nd one is f2.8 ... I think.

Here's a few from my new toy, a Yashica Mat LM.
Pretty sure both were shot wide open at f3.5. Gotta love that smooth 10 bladed aperature smoothness.

I'd love to see more from this lens. How much does one set you back for a converted version?
