I love my 40/2 M-Rokkor (CLE version). It's small, fast, sharp, relatively inexpensive and it fits the 35mm frame lines on my R-D1 perfectly.

Great shots. I love 40mm. My VC nokton f/1.4 is an excellent lens indeed, but your Rokkor looks even better...

I love my little M-Rokkor 40mm. It's the only lens I have for my M4 but I'm so happy with it that I'm not concerned with acquiring a new lens anytime soon.

Here are some pictures. Forgive the terrible scanner quality.

^ you owe it to yourself to treat yourself to a new scanner
Lovely shots though (did you scan prints?)

Thank you Renzsu. I've been meaning to get a decent scanner for the best part of 6 months and finally pulled the trigger on an Epson V600 a few weeks ago. Unfortunately for me, the store decided to close over the holidays so I won't be getting it for another week or two.

Gabor - I'm curious about your "snapshot" settings. When you preset your exposure for night shots, what values are you setting? And are you using hyperfocal distance for focus?

Thanks,

3 months and no new Rokkor photos?

It depends on the film (and location !) In Sapporo, a big and at night well illuminated city, 400ISO were good for f/1.0 and 1/60s or f/1.4 and 1/30s and 1600ISO for f/4.0 and 1/15s. With focus set to 3m (for me ideal when using 50mm or 40mm lenses), I was ready to go.

Long time no contribution from me ...
