Well I like all the images so far so I think it will come down to the focal length I need. The 58mm minolta is in the running because I can use it as an ~85mm on the NEX or ~120mm on the OMD, which I really like for portrait ranges.
I would love the 50mm on OMD but the 75mm FOV on NEX is no-man's lands for me. The 42 is just too close to my 45 1.8 which I am quite content with.

ah, i didn't know you still had a NEX. i certainly won't say anything bad about the rokkor. the pen 42mm is a very different kind of lens than the 45/1.8, and i'm certainly not one for only having a single lens at focal lengths i use a lot.
By the way I sought this lens after seeing shots by Sebboh on the FD/FL thread (before I even knew about other desirables like the Minolta), but I'm happy!
