Well I hate to admit it but my rokkor gets too little use. I have been thinking about selling it but I just can´t. Glad I have not. I will never sell it!

Took it with me to work today and shot the cherry blossom. It rocked! I will post later.

Please don´t stop using your rokkors!

Haven't been using my Rokkor 58 much lately but that's what happens when you have quite a few alts to choose between. Plus I tend to shoot with my newest lens a lot.
I will never sell my two Rokkor 58's either.

rokkor serves sometimes as a wildlife lens - recent shot from ZOO
at f1.2 aperture, background is isolated pretty well (much more than it showed in viewfinder)

Yes, I have used it to "erase" fences like this too. Nice shot!

How do you guys adapt the Rokkor 58mm to EOS camera? Also, what does PG mean? Thanks.

Glad you like the shots! Thank you!

Winnonlin: You will have to change mount to use it on EOS (for anything else than macro...)

Thank you Anden. How does this lens compare to SMC Takumar 50/1.2 and Olympus Zuiko 50/1.2?

I've has mine for a while (converted with Jim's kit) but never wanted to shave the back to use it on my 1ds3. I recently bought a 5d2 with a shaved mirror though and started using it...

an old fire engine and chevy...
