I have to admit though that there's so many Rokkor shots being posted on this forum, that there's just a fair portion that do not show the nice side of the Rokkor signature, which has been shown before (mostly in the alternative image threads).
And here is a very good example of the difference between the Rokkor 58/1.2 wide open and the Rokkor at f2. Also, an example of why I feel the Rokkor is the best environmental portraiture lens ever produced for a FF SLR (you can see that in several of the images in my previous post as well, IMO).
f2: http://www.cogitech.ca/photos/Rokkor/High_Park/img_1914.jpg
But the best thing about the Rokkor is that this effect is completely gone by f2, which makes it an incredibly versatile lens. The bokeh smooths right out into cream, and the focal plane gets just scary sharp with serious micro-contrast kick.

Some great shots of all kinds, Paul. I think the Rokkor renders abstract nature images beautifully as well. It is surprisingly perfect for the kind of images you posted in the first few shots.
