Yep...I have the Rokkor 50mm 1.4 that came with the camera and a Kiron 30-80mm zoom I added later on. I used the Kiron almost exclusively in paddock/pits situations and the big zoom out around the track...The Rokkor pretty much stayed in the camera bag when I was at tracks...Here's a really low quality copy of a photo of a scan of a Champion Motorsports Porsche GT 1 at the 2nd (I think) Petit LeMans taken at night hand-held with the Kiron and a Vivitar flash...
The speed and drama comes through really well, particularly too with the use of flash - something I would not have normally thought of myself.
Now, you've got me thinking of flash synching.
The 50mm f1.4 Rokkor I think is notably a great lens too?
Seems you've got all the right stuff!

Yes, the Rokkor is an excellent little "normal" lens. It gives incredibly sharp images edge-to-edge and, of course, is great in low light.
