It came today. I couldn't wait to try it. This is my first attempt to try a lens this fast on my Canon EOS 10D. Handheld.
Image is resized and sharpened, but no other PP. Shot at 1/20s at ISO 400.Going to take some practice, before I'm happy,but not too bad for a first try.

Only if I find a very good price for it... I have a good replacement for this lens, a Rokkor 50/1.2 MD, that has a very similar rendering.

I'm still looking for a 50 1.2 cheap . I know it's not likely to happen. 
My 50 1.4 I paid USD $9.95 and that included the camera, but the camera needs repair. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Picked up another one on the Bay for USD $3.24 + shipping. It's got fungus but otherwise it's pretty sweet.Just tried a quick pick at f1.4. Hopefully I will be able to test this lens and others soon. Kinda hard for me to use a camera until my shoulder/ neck heals.

Nice shots Woodrim. I have a few Rokkors that are identical to the same lens labeled Rokkor-X for the North American market. Do you have one of those or one of the earlier 60s models?
