Some say typical "crutch" photo, shrug, I like "crutch" pics.
Heavy crop, Canon 5DMkII, Minolta Rokkor 58mm f1.2, wide open, of course:

Wow, thanks!
You are one of the very few who have replied at all, and then positively to one of my humble posts.
I don't post very often, and when I do, I usually get no comments.
When I do get comments, it is usually negative.
I can only guess 99% of the planet likes over sharpened, over saturated, and mega contrasted images?
When I post to this forum, I try not to pp shots, to show how the lens, and the sensor actually work.
Shrug...

you are posting on a forum which primarily deals with digital cameras. adjust your expectations accordingly

i have my rokkor up for trade in the b/s/t if anybody is interested.


funny, Im considering letting go of mine. I don't use it much, although it's got everything to do with the camera I have and not the lens itself which is pretty awesome.

Hmm, perhaps that is (a/the) problem?
I have no expectations?

All I was doing was typing my thoughts out as they were happening.
Not crying, or anything, just sayin'...

And this will be the last of this for me, sorry to bore everyone.

Everyone post more photos!

the point of my post was not to try and silence the discussion.

I merely hinted at what I think is the base of the issue.

Rokkor 58/1.2 wide open.

The best part of Rokkor 58/1.2 is the bokeh.

Thanks Phillip, I'm having a lot of fun with these lenses.. heading over to jakarta in a couple days... Im going to have a truck load of images to go through!
btw I love your work, I have that 135mm and I have to say you really know how to work it!
I recently took my new 50mm md rokkor-x 1.4 out and put it to the test in some challenging conditions.
here are some of those times..all handheld where I should have a tripod!
