Not paying attention to the St. Paul Sub up near St. Anthony (ATCS who ?), an eastbound snuck by with what sounded like an EMD. So I decided try and beat it to St. Paul, which I did with about 30 seconds to spare. A "southbound" UP manifest from the Twin Ports heads through Seventh Street, the location of a menagerie of tracks, switches, and overpasses.
Rolleinar 55mm f1.4 is the latest fast fifty-five in my collection. THis one is made in japan. I wanted to compare it to Mamiy an tomioka made fifty-fives. More so as it is rumoured that it is made my Mamiya or Tomioka for Rollei. It has visibly different optical design as the rear element is concave and not flat as Tomioka and Mamiya I own.
It is said to be based on expired Zeiss' Planar 55mm f1.4 patent. That is surely true for Rolleinars made in Germany, but no definite confirmation for those made in Japan.
It is sharp wide open, quite sharper than my Auto Chinon. Bokeh is still that of fast fifty-five, maybe a hint better controlled. Colors ar natural and definitely on colder side. Multi coating adds a bit more contrast but not dramatically so.
Auto Chinon 55mm f1.4 is a first of fast fifty-fives I acquired. It was by chance at the time, but it become one of the few I would have hard time to part with.
In terms of IG: sharpness is not its strong, glass is yellowish and colours are tinted, bokeh is wild and uncontrolled by modern standards. All that said it just fits in my taste as a warm glove .
