Next great "bokeh maker" - Jupiter-9 2/85 (this is black copy, the sharpest from all Jupiters I tried)
All photos resized and cropped at the bottom only




Sample of its performance regarding sharpness and contrast.

I agree... as long as you don't have highlights there!

It looks like but.... True about highlights. Yesterday was a sunny day, today not at all.

Very Happy

I'm going to resize and upload a set consisting only of Voigtländer SL 180mm f/4 shots once I return home.

I keep returning to your wonderful country every year and have spent this month here, I am also returning again in March for another fotoshoot. Plenty of manual focus stuff to be uploaded once these antibiotics kill the centipede bite that became infected Twisted Evil

Chook dii kap!

Right now I'm in the learning characteristics of my Carl Zeiss collection phase so using generally the Zeiss glasses and I really loved the Carl Zeiss Tele-Tessar 4/200's bokeh performance:


Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35 also performs great:

me too (drooling)...

This is one lens I want to buy. Veijo posted great series on his web site covering this lens. Tiny and great bokeh... Mine 180/2.8s as well as 200/3.5 are too big to take in a pocket or small bag.

But the price is always on upwards path... Rolling Eyes Sad

Thank you all of my friends.

I like all of your pictures and hope to try your lens.

Today I 've just got Nikkor - P 75mm f2.8 original in Bronica mount but modified to Nikon mount. I think the bokeh is the same as Helios 40 85mm f1.5 Surprised

Models are exceptional, but this lens not my taste.

I share Attila's opinion: the foreground is much more to my taste than the background Wink

Cheers!

I have been lurking here for a while. I feasted often on your great images and info. Did some manual lenses below last year mostly with the Sony A700. This year, I've renewed my pursuit of manual lenses extending beyond the MD/MC option for the A-mount. I will be receiving my first M42 lenses later on this week, nothing special but hope a good start. Jpg, hand held, cropped and PP. Close focusing here and thus helped the bokeh formation. Will try longer distances later on.
cheers and enjoy,
gil

There was a lot of fabulous Bokeh here. I swear.

But soon as I had fetched my camera, I returned to find they had eaten it all up...
