Rokkor:
What are the differences, your likes, and dislikes about ROKKOR Normal-ish lenses?
What do the two-letter designations mean? Like ROKKOR-QD, ROKKOR-X, ROKKOR-PG, ROKKOR-PF, etc.
Did you know some ROKKORs were radioactive?  ☢=☠
I'm not very good but here some to start it off. This is the Auto ROKKOR-PF 55mm f/1.8. I paid $2 for it and another $2 for an almost identical one: Another ROKKOR-PF 55mm f/1.8 but shorter and with a smaller diameter  . The short & small one's focus barrel was frozen up and the other had a tiny nick on the front element. So for $4 total and a front element swap I should have a pretty nice lens. I dunno the going rate for this lens on-line. Maybe it's $3 and I got ripped off.
I couldn't wait to swap the front element so here's the shots I took on the way home:
Except for the building and it's 100% crop these are all taken at f/1.8 (wide open).
I can't wait to see some nice ROKKOR samples from people who actually know how to use them.
