I've done 2 of the MC Rokkor-HH 35 1.8s, it's a nice lens. haven't done the smaller MD version yet.

Another one I was thinking of was the vivitar 35 1.9. It came in several mounts, some of which probably don't even need converting.

ovredal73 thanks, well, this small 35mm MD version will sit on sigma sd14.

For 5D will go this one HH version

So far, I have'nt seen a single sample from the Rokkor where it shows any gain in IQ over the FL...I wonder if you are using your FL via one of those IQ reducing FL/FD-EF optical adapters?...That would explain the poor results you are getting with your FL. Would it be possible for you to post some head to head comparison pics?

Alf, for your own credibility on the forum you are almost required to get yourself a rokkor and shoot it side by side with your great copy of the FL. Thus we all can see what you see. I do not question the greatness of the FL but I do question the claimed superiority of the FL over the Rokkor.

Did the Rokkor bully you in your younger days?

Kind regards

This Minolta 1,8/35mm HH is a great lens, I already converted it and works very well on 5D.

Nice shots, Convert! I like this lens a lot too, have converted a couple so far. I don't have a shaved mirror so it does hit @ infinity, but I can get out to 20-30ft without hitting.

Hi Ed, to get infinity with 1,8/35mm HH was not easy for me (protrude more than Rokkor 1,2/58mm), it means you have to shave the mirror on 5D more than normal".

Kind regards

I appreciate your kindness, a lot of work was behind all the lenses which I converted.

Even better! 1 ft is very good for a 35, IMO.

I have been tempted by this lens for a long time, and you have just pushed me over the edge...

...but, I will wait to see your HH. I have a feeling I might like it better.

If you take out the focus-stop screw, the 35 1.8 will focus down to about 6 inches(!). I did one of mine that way. Very cool, near-macro quality. I haven't tried the MD (yet) but have 2 HHs I converted (and one I haven't converted yet), they are a great lens. Complex conversion but doable.

1.8 makes it one of the fastest 35s out there, esp. @ reasonable prices.

Dim.ka_, you should try the Nikon 35mm f1.4 AI-S on your SD14. It has amazing bokeh for such a wide lens:

And I've just discovered thats its really good for nightshots on the SD14 too:

Thanks Alf for another 35 alternative, but think i have found what i really like

Some more MD 35 1.8 snaps - it is really good for close up shots, but overall i like tiny size and impressive perfomance.

all f1.8

Really cool shots, Dmitry. I especially like the leaf on the car. And the first flower shot further up is also beautiful. Seems like a fun lens, worthwhile your efforts!
