I was thinking Rokkor 58/1.2, but with the Nokton 58/1.4 already in the bag, there i no need to play with that now.
Maybe i should just grap a vario sonner 35-70 and work on a mount conversion little by little.
Exactly...with shipping and all, it becomes prohibitive unless you have something like the Dist 18. If you can afford that, you can afford an adapter for it.
There is also a DIY on mflenses about converting Exacta mount to PK...yet another option.
Those f/1.2 Rokkors are worth a bundle since Paul (cogitech) started converting them to EF mount and they became desirable again. He sells a converted lens from $650-800 when a stock one was just ~$200 last year
Well worth it for the quality images they produce.
