newbie question: is it ok to crosspost in different threads, e.g. "NEX Images Thread" and "ROKKOR Normal-ish Image Thread"?
Sure, it's perfectly fine to cross-post as long as you do it in a way that makes sense -- posting shots from the Rokkor used on a NEX in both threads you mention does make sense.

Phillip, very nice set of images! 1st one is my favorite.
+1. Although my top pick would be the last one.
Great light. We dont have that here up north now - when not dark gray, daylight is a dim evening:ish light which I find hard to replicate in a shot. Two Rokkor 58/1.2 on the NEX 5N.
Thanks Lightshow :-). Now, here's a double post from the NEX images thread (sry) from the other day. Rokkor 58/1.2 at this point seemed glued wideopen. My son with a bit more "arty" feel as I see it, luckily his wild hair has been cut now :-)
Having used the NEX 5N for a while I today remembered how good the 5D2 is. Mirror snags and things like that are secondary, the handling is just great.
Gathering launch pad evidence from yesterdays fiesting. And a chance to enjoy (or hate :-) the swirly bokeh of the Rokkor 58 at F/1.2.
EDIT: some at the afterpartying captured on camera. Not supersharp but focal plane is ok, so perhaps it's party-moves :-) The vignetting in the lower frame is a result of the mirror hang which occurs above 5m, not PP. Plan to grind the top part of the holding ring at the back element for that, as I can see where it hits. Still Canon 5D2 and Rokkor 58/1.2.
