Rokkor MC 28/2.5

So far I'm really liking this lens.
On my NEX-7, it does have a nice rendering that has a 3D feel to it.

Beautiful set of photos. I love the one of the joggers. Fantastic lens, which version is it? I am thinking of getting one.

2nd version MC W.Rokkor-SI with deep scallops in the focusing ring., I like the feel it gives to the shots, I like it more than my X28/2.
Here it is, front right.

I have a newer version of this lens. It's a bit beat up externally but it delivers. A very underrated lens and a real gem. Your pictures prove it!

Thanks, it's drawing style goes from an almost retro 3D to a fairly neutral style as you stop down.
It's on the list when I'm choosing a lens to get creative with.

Another, W/O.

Great shots, but 2 and 3 really stand out for me.

A lovely family group. I'm collecting them too. The 28 f2.5 is a little outside my price range at the moment. Fantastic photos.

Nice combo.

I have and use the macro and the 1,2/58 2nd version.

More the 2,8/24 MC.

My 2,5/28 was not so good like yours. A bad copy, sure.

Congrsts for your lenses.

Regards

Thanks for the kind words.
Another, up close, has a nice 3d feel to it at large sizes.


Too expensive?
$60

Beautiful light and colours in the first few. Others are excellent too. I have a few Minolta lenses as well, but all newer and more 2nd tier. Can't afford/justify the more highend glass.

The last pic os very good too.

I can take off both arms for the 1,7/85 you have

Thanks.
I think I'll keep the lens.
