I found a decent subject in a garden in Milano, and decided to do a little comparison of the bokeh of the lenses I had with me. I composed for what felt right for each lens, so this is not a strict comparison, but interesting to see the differences in rendering for me.

Great comparison with very different and interesting looking images! Did you use all the lenses on the same camera? I assume most of these only cover a smaller format…

You certainly have some very interesting and unique lenses in your arsenal from what I‘ve seen in the gallery threads and also seem to have a lot of fun using them. Excellent work!

That's not very sharp, but really, really beautiful - excellent capture!

How do you like that lens in general?

It's just as you described, not that sharp wide open. My copy was bought at less than the current going rate due to a small piece of separation near the front of the lens, but I wonder if it was opened previously and reassembled incorrectly. When mounted to a T2-Mirrorless adapter it can't reach infinity, there isn't enough adjustment in the focus available. I just altered an adaptor, haven't tried to disassemble the lens yet though.

It is acceptable at F/8.

Thanks a lot for the info! Would be interesting what it's able to do in pristine condition, but rendering looks very nice for images like the one you shared.

You've got a bit of a talent for making cool images. My technique is more 'happy accident'.

These two are from an Accura 85mm F/1.7 YS mount (I think of Sigma manufacture, but not 100% sure). It has a way of melting backgrounds...




This last is from a Canon FL 50 3.5 without the extension. (Can't remember if I ever posted this earlier. I probably have, it's a favourite of mine)

Thanks - I'm mainly just experimenting and trying things that come to mind. I wouldn't dare to say I know what I'm doing...

Your shots are wonderful - I like them all, but particularly the last one. It's so beautiful. Absolutely love the smooth transitions and the overall look. Really fantastic!

This is taken with an Elicar (Komine) 90mm F/2.5 lens, my favourite of the contenders at that focal length. It doesn't get the love that the Kiron 105 and the Bokina get, but it does go 1:1 and is lighter than either of the other two, and can still give pleasing results.

Excellent capture - love the cold look and beautiful transition!

I'm going away for the weekend next weekend, so trying a few zooms to see what they're capable of. This is the Cosmicar (Takumar) 35-70mm F/4. This thing gets nice and close.

I am pretty sure the photographer will make every lens capable. Wink
