Beautiful shots... !!
I am in love with its bokeh...  when there are not too strong OOF highlights..
Specially in shot no 4 it used so well...
in the watch shot it looks a tad distracting, (could be me ..)
But then again the last shot you have used it to advantage..
This could be nice example to add to the the lens's gallery.. |

Number seven with the crystal walrus - the subject matter somehow lets you get aweay with the star-shaped hilights which would otherwise be rather distracting.
Very smooth fallof of focus and smooth-edged oof highlights in this lens at larger apertures (at the expense of some overall sharpness and contrast, sompared to some of your other lenses at this focal length).

Great shots. I remember Melbourne as having the best Chinese and Greek restaurants outside their home countries. The Volna-9 is one of those "secrets" that just can't seem to get out.

I think the same way. From what I've observed, this is the soviet lens with the fewest posted images on Internet, which is a pity. And due to the fact that it has become a rarity not many people will ever get the chance to enjoy what this lens can do.
The first time I saw what this lens is capable wide open I fell in love with it. It was not long ago when LucisPictor has posted a bokeh comparison of his 50s and the lens with the most discerning bokeh was the Volna-9 while all other lenses were quite similar to each other in their rendering. Since then, I wanted to learn more and more about it, I was searching for samples but could not find many and was constantly monitoring eBay for this lens, and as soon as there was one available I snatched it. |
