what do like about the rokkors and what kind of lenses are you looking for?
What I like a lot is the smooth manual focusing, and the solid built.
The Rokkors are also in general fairly compact .
i thought that might be it. unfortunately for telephotos of that range good CA correction was extremely uncommon till the days of lessor build quality. the only other lenses with the build quality to match the rokkors are leica R and takumar lenses. there are quite a few good performers in from leica, but they are a fair bit more expensive (as is the rokkor 400/5.6 apo) and not particularly compact. the takumars, at least from what i\'ve seen tend to be even worse with regard to CA. a better option might the nikkor 400/5.6 ED AIS. in general i\'ve not been a fan of the focus rings on nikkors because of direction and excessive lightness, but i\'ve heard that one is slower focusing. both it and the nikkor 400/5.6 ED IF are supposed to be pretty well corrected for CA. a final option might be a c/y 300/4. i\'m sure the build and focus would be superb, but i haven\'t heard anything about the lenses performance and CA correction isn\'t typically zeiss\'s biggest strength.
