From a trip to Washington state. Not many shots wide open, mostly I shot between f/2 to f/4 with the EF 50/1.2L. This one is the exception, wide open. The lens works great at all apertures.

A great lenslovely!
despite the fact that it goes against the spirit of this thread, let me advise you to spend some time using the rokkor stopped down. many people seem to only shoot it wide open but i think it is most special at f/2 and it continues to be excellent as you stop down. it's easy to focus stopped down till at least f/4 too.I agree! It is very sharp at f2. Bokeh is great at f2. I love its Bokeh at f1.2 as well. But feel Nikkor AIS's Bokeh is as good or bad at f1.2.

It was Minima Amator. Both MA and EA1 are my all time favorite 2 way monitors I am still looking for EA1 in good shape. A truly art! The sound of string and vocal are just too die for.....
Since I am here:

Seriously, shooting with the FL 55 f/1.2 (on a 60D) can be like shooting with a Dr. Seuss lens. These are straight out of the camera.

I still reach for my Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 in Contax mount adapted to EOS.
I have the ninja star version, which beautifully renders the out-of-focus regions into something like a painting.

Beautiful.
I bought a Rokkor-X 58/1.2 yesterday. Should be here in a week, or so. I'm getting excited...
