I haven't done a comprehensive test yet for all my f1.2 (Pentax-A & K, Canon 50 FDL, Nikon 50 Ais, Olympus 50, Canon FD 55, Rokkor 58) but from couple of test shots, I observed that Pentax-A is significantly sharper then the Pentax K. For close distance, Pentax-A is significantly sharper than Nikon 50 Ais. From long distance, Nikon is the winner. Hope I could find time to do a more proper tests
I thought the K and A have the same optics, no?

why would u do that?!
because i have 2, one for film and one with a sony mount. i'm thinking i will probably sell my a55 and get a NEX-7 as my only digital camera for a while (till somebody comes out with a FF i can live with), which means i won't need a sony mount rokkor.
some shots with the one i'm keeping on aps-c:

I have some C-Mount Zooms which come in at f/1.2 - I think I'll post a few of those up if no one minds.
OK, here's the Fujinon-TV 12-75mm f/1.2 (I think constant aperture)
F/1.2 - I think at about 35mm - 100% Crop (Processed)
f/1.2 - I guess at around 20mm - a little less maybe
f/2.8
12mm, f/1.2, ISO 640
12mm, f/2.8, ISO 640
12mm, f/8, ISO 640

i'd definitely be interested in seeing those.

You guys are certainly making a strong argument for the Rokkor 58/1.2 at any rate. Alexandre's got a clean copy on the B&S boards that's kind of making me wish I still had a Canon on which to shoot it.

Hehehe, everyone loves that Rokkor.
I found that the FL 58/1.2 is nearly identical but is a tad sharper at f/1.2 than the Rokkor. It has the same creamy bokeh as the Rokkor too. It's a lot cheaper than the Rokkor tho. And since it's an FL mount I think it's more difficult to adapt to modern bodies.

i don't doubt it's sharper, but i've not seen anything in your pics that makes it look similar in bokeh or other aspects of drawing style.
i'm happy to be proven wrong though.

I should probably repurchase a Rokkor 58/1.2 and do a heads up. I'll keep an eye out for a deal on one and try to remember to do that.

And then you can start a "Rokkor isn't any different" thread
