very old c-mount lens, uncoated, ca. 1920-1930 I would guess. From the maker of the famous "Graf Variable" Soft Focus lens.

I bought it out of curiosity, as I know of its larger brother.

Hmm, an "impressionist" lens? That's the first think coming to my mind for its rendering quality.

hmm, I get you found a very good description of how that lens renders images!!

I like the 1st pic the way the bokeh is formed and the 3rd I really like.

WB looks a bit cold or the reds aren't showing too much.

Will you use it as a portrait lens?

Yes, quite interesting bokeh indeed Martin. It was cold and gray when I took shots, so no wonder about the color. I don't do postprocessing usually.
I'm not a portrait shooter, but maybe I should start with that lens...
