Finally I received an adapter so that I could try out the Rokkor 58/1.2. Looks almost new, usable wide open (at last for close subjects) and sharper a f/2 than I had expected. Stopped down to f/5.6 it may actually be even sharper than the C/Y 50/1.7. Weighs more than twice as much though, so I'll keep the Contax for hiking and traveling.
Most of these are taken at f/2:
Thanks! That 28 Distagon looks good too, but I really like the FDn 28/2. Just received it yesterday but sometimes you know from your first few shots that a particular lens is right for you...

Very nice shots and very nice lens. Number one on my to buy list... once more confirmed by your shots.
Cheetah at the Wildlife World Zoo in Glendale, AZ. I was warned to take a fast F2.8 tele lens due to the chain link metal fences arount the animals.. Could not get flash close enough to fence to be sucussfull and avoid glare/wipeout of image.
