Rokkor 58 mm/1.2 is a great (rare) lens. I once had one and regret having parted with it with all the other Rokkor MC lenses. It is *very different* from 50 mm Summicron R. Just try some portraits as well as aerial photos, and you will know what I mean. ;-) If my memory serves, there is an MC/MD Rokkor- Leica M mount adaptor, but I do not think R lens-MC mount adaptor (at least one without an additional lens element) is available.
