some people have made rubber gaskets and attached them to a fast 50. The results are so-so. There is this guy that has a flickr page and used to post (he might still) all these pictures with insane bokeh that he calls bokehstein. Don't know if anyone has seen that stuff. It was really, really, really, F***ing good. I tried some stuff with a fast 50 and couldn't get anywhere near the bokeh this guy was getting. YMMV I guess. Ill dig him out of my contacts if anyone is really interested.
