Inspired by Paul (Cogitech)'s posts about the Rokkors and with nothing to do, I pulled out my MC Rokkor PF 135mm F/2.8 and gave it a try. Fortunately, my version just happened to be simple to convert, just like the rokkor 85/1.7. Here's a shot with my 40D wide open:
Really good, actually... I will not comment on sharpness in this presentation size, but what really catches my eye is the minimal amount of colour-fringeing in the (also very nice) bg oof... Almost APO-like! Congrats.... Always feels good to use something that "you've made yourself" also

as well as the MC/MD Tele Rokkor 4/200mm
used Low Dispersion glass and would be denominated "ED" today.
