I had both the Rokkor and the Nockton but sold the Nockton. On the R-D1, at least, it did not produce as sharp an image. I wish I could have kept it long enough to test it with the M8 and maybe I would have done the opposite. However, I realy like what I see from the Rokkor on the M8.

What are you guys using to frame the shot when using these lenses?

The 35mm frame lines work very well.

My 40 is on an M4-P (.72 finder) much of the time and brings up the 50mm frames. I just frame ultra tight on these, to the point of letting the subject splash outside the lines, and it works well. I wear glasses, so that affects my eye position. Also use the lens on a Minolta CLE which has a 40mm frame, and that seems very accurate.
If you keep using the same camera/lens combination, you'll learn what fits pretty quickly.

The QF optics are the same photo quality wise, and coating wise to two CLE's I've owned. Though the cam is the non CLE parallel type (but still works on all M Mounts I've tried).
Otheres feel the CLE has different coatings, possibly from a pop photo article long ago.

Oh, I need to frame this lens for an R-D1. That changes things a bit.

in my experience, the 35mm framelines on the R-D1 are spot on for the Rokkor 40mm.espressogeek said:
