Another wow. I have not really been paying attention to Rikenon lenses, as some have that infamous Ricoh pin for Pentax DSLRs. After these images I need to reconsider my position and LBA priorities Wink

great thread, very interesting photos!


Ricoh GXR M + Pen-F Zuiko 1.4/40

( P.S: one or the other German member may remember a similar thread that I had made a few years ago in a German forum and the beating I had received for it. I am very happy to see the overwhelming positive reception and good participation here and now! )

wow ... mine is not as fantastic as the last two pictures.

I am also delighted that there is a "bokeh only" community of photography enthusiasts who sees the picture differently, in a way that "to be sharp" does not matter. Many beautiful photos with its own character in this topic. Now I come into this world with a bus. Wink



On the other hand, this forum is toxic Smile for those suffering from LBA. Although I decided that I have enough 50's, right now I ordered a Rikenon 50/1.7 because of some pictures posted here.

It's threads like these that remind me how I really wish we had a simple 'like' button for each post. I know there's a Fartbook one but I'm not interested in that, it would be nice to simply 'like' posts Sad there's so many good posts here but it's hard to reply to every single one.
I'm sure this has been discussed before and I don't think this type of forum has the option, unless things have changed now..... Question

You might use the 'No rate' button on the left of the 'Private' button. It will change to 'Rating: (with a star)'. See your message above.

The Rikenon P pin is only,as far as I know found on the newer plastic lenses (for one of the later Ricoh cameras).The Auto Rikenons of the all metal variety are safe, no pin just a standard M42 mount.

Yes, the ones that write XR are no pin.

Hi everybody. I'm not a real "bokeh lover" but I just found this one while cleaning hard drive. (Hard to reduce this kind of photography without loosing too much... which soft do you use ?)
E-M5 and Helios-44

All these shots are giving me a headache, well actually I feel I must have been drinking Razz But alright I'll Play, since the Tennis is on, this is the rail everyone falls down at Rod Laver Arena Razz



It was a Pentax M 28mm @ f2.8 on a K10 The lights are from the traffic some 500m away. Laughing

Early on with my camera, I was having a (BOOKEH) battle with a mate of mine because we thought that was cool at the time. I got bonus points for using a 28mm Laughing

Not sure if these count due to having something in focus. Smile

hi everybody

wonderful idea, I'll do my part in the next days, but for now.... here's a little one

fuji x-e1 + konica AR 50 1.4@1.4 (very soft at 1.4 but a pleasure to work with if stopped down)
