Finally got my Rokkor 58/1.2 converted for my A900. For those interested, I can recommend Richard Harris' conversion kit. It's pricey, but service and quality is excellent. My Rokkor is dead on at infinity.

A900 + 58/1.2 around f2.

Nice....!!!
In many cases, I find that the Rokkor 58/1.2 has that glow Leica is famous of....

Thanks! I'm not that familiar with the Rokkor, but I look forward getting to know how it renders.

^ - Paul, are you using the LCD or the ext EVF to focus the 5N? I've got the VF on order; actually it arrived from Sony today, but they sent me a battery charger by mistake .

Love that 58 1.2 shot by the way.

58/1.2 (I'm editing on a newer uncalibrated pc/monitor setup, vs. my laptop, so things still look a bit off)

Just had a short play with my new Rokkor 58 1.2. Can't work out if this has wierd field curvature or not. http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/86362/2093521/VT6S0417_o.jpg
This shot is obviously out of focus (its one of my many rejects from today), and was taken at 1.2, but when I looked to see how far out of focus, I ended up not being able to see a clean plane of focus, the far left is medium sharp, the telephone boxes are out of focus, and the far distant metal pole at the top is sharp (for 1.2).

Anyone know what the field curvature is of this lens?



Here is a two shot pano @f2

It looks like the lens is tilted, likely from the conversion.

Hmmm, its a Buchanan conversion kit so I'd like to think it wasn't. Will have to do more tests but at the moment I really can't be bothered!
