ok, all these shots are nice, but for people like myself that aren't aware of what's needed, anyone has a link to what I need to buy to make it work with a 5D? it would be greatly appreciate it. thanks.
Here's a really old page that I created, and then lost, and then found and re-posted on my server again just the other day. http://www.cogitech.ca/Rokkor/index.html
This method requires only an M42-EOS adapter and some simple tools (as long as you are good with your hands).

YAY!
I always wanted to know how you're tutorial explained it.
Does this work for the 58mm 1.4 as well?

Yes. It is basically the same.

Piece of cake. I did it for Nikon F-mount. You have to sand the spacer alot more than you would for the EOS. Even then it's wafer thin and still no infinity focus. Won't clear the mirror of a D700 beyond 20ft or so, so my Nikkor Rokkor stays the way it is.

Should work fine for Alpha mount too, except mirror clearance is much less of an issue.

Great Rokkor shots, everyone! The 1.2 is an amazing piece of glass (that I wish I owned). I do have, however, the 58mm f1.4. Just as amazing as the 1.2 IMHO.

Great Rokkor shots of kids, everyone!
Andreas,
It would be interesting to do a side by side portrait comparison shot like that one above with both the Rokkor 58 and your Zeiss 35/1.4. It seems to me that the Zeiss transitions quicker from in focus to OOF than the Rokkor 58.

Cross post from Alt image 3.
Rokkor 58/1.2 @f/1.2 (first two images) and @f/2.8 (last one). Hand held, I think that I had 12mm extension in there two, but I can't remember.

Oh yes, the Rokkor with extension tubes is faboulus too!
While my conversion to EF mount I hesitated - probably it is bettet not to reach infinity but to have direct access to nearer objects. But I made it ti infinity, and use the extension tubes often.
Here some more distand images - full open the lens has a lovely softening I like.
Stopped down the lens is sharp enough for my EOS 5D - I often didn´t pack the Zeiss 85/1.4 into my bag since I have the Rokkor.
I read that nude or "sexual" images are not allowed, but the links to the images:
