I have read so many positive comments about the Rokkor 58/1.2, that I could not resist getting one off of eBay. It is one of the later MC versions (possibly the last one,) and I am using it on an A7ii. The lens lives up to its reputation in every way--solid as a rock and just as heavy, very sharp from f2 on up, truly gorgeous rendering and bokeh. It is definitely a keeper that I will probably use mostly for portraits.

Congrats--few lenses live up to their reputation the way this lens does. It\'s my longest tenured lens, 90% of the time shot at f2.
So far, I have the aperture stuck on f2, and I cannot believe how sharp it is. But the Rokkor is not really about sharpness, it is about bokeh and character, both of which it has in abundance. I think it is too heavy for me to use a walk-around lens. For that I have the CV Nokton 50/1.5 VM, which is I also love.
Below is my first portrait with the Rokkor.
