Thanks bro silgt. Yes, there were. Mainly increasing the clarity, vibrance and adding the vignette.

I tried with the Rokkor 50/1.4 today to see how far apart it is from the 58/1.2. Someone asked for it way back.
Bokeh no fight with the 58/1.2. Not as buttery smooth.
DoF no fight again. This one for sure cause it is not a f1.2 and not at 58mm too.
Sharpness. I think on par lah. This tree bark very sharp. Also being f1.4, it is perhaps a little bit easier to get subject in focus. It also lacks the Mandler glow in the 58/1.2 wide open. [edit] not mandler-like glow but something special
Contrast and 3D. Not very evident so I would say the 50/1.4 is lacking it. However, light fall off [edit] (referring to transition from in focus to out of focus and not from center to edge) is very rapid. So subject isolation can be quite pronounced.
Conclusion. The 50/1.4 is no 58/1.2 but if you need to bite it,
for CB sake, it is only 1/10 the price of 58/1.2. Can do lah. Personally, I would not consider it. There are other 50mm that would have more character.

58mm does add to the shallower DOF over a 50mm.
How close does the 58mm focus?

Possibly? If you read the Wiki, there was some collaboration with Leica and Minolta way back... I cant be sure though... Plainly said, it's a damned fine lens to have...

I think i am the one who asked for it
Thank you so much for the feedback.. really appreciate it.
Btw, luckily I didn't win the bid of this item on ebay..
I knew of some collaboration between Leica and Minolta back then but iirc this lens could be "inspired" by Walter's design. But whatever it is, I agree I do love this lens!

Leica used the Minolta Rokkor 24mm as its early Elmarit-R design lah. Not the 58/1.2. I have exaggerated about the Mandler-like glow. My bad.

The 50/1.4 is 0.5m. As for the 58/1.2, have to ask Thoth as I do not have it anymore.
If you are referring to the 50@1.4 vs the 58@2.0, I don't know really. I would still think the f1.4 will still be thinner.
Thoth, can you use the 58 to take a photo at f2.0 at 0.5m ?
