Strange Bokeh lenses

[xoxixox]

Bokeh : In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. (wikipedia)

Hi all, I want to share with you in this thread, experience with strange, weird, and uncommon bokeh lenses. Not just "good" bokeh, there is a lot of thread about the best bokeh lens, but strange one.

Please post here your picture with the complete name of your lens it will be of interest for many of us (I hope)

(my apologizes for by bad english, I could write better in French, but I guess that there are more English readers here than French one )

Lets go

Nikon D3 Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 75mm f/1,5

Great idea for a new topic! There should be an epilepsia warning in the topic subject field

A lot of these lenses give so ugly bokeh I honestly don't understand what photographic use they are good for other than photographing your mother-in-law.

My alltime favorite for hair-raising bokeh is the Meyer Görlitz 100/2.8 Trioplan, see here http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellysereda/3650959866/

Prediction: soon somebody will play 'ring around the rosy' with their worst mirror lens

[calvin83]

Rollei 1.4/35 has a triangular stop down bokeh.

Industar-61 L/Z has a star-like stop down bokeh.

You can create your own bokeh too.

Maybe the OP should mention that YOU HAVE TO SHOW IT IN AN IMAGE and not just mention that "I have heard that a friend of my sisters nephew heard that there is a lens...bla bla"

[kds315*]

Thanks for reminding me..

Here shots using my CELESTRON 250mm mirror lens - donuts anyone?

[visualopsins]

I really like the yellow coneflower photo with 'rainfall' of doughnut bokeh background!

The single well-defined ring with the roses is very clever!

[kds315*]

Well, these shots were "designed" to bring out that ring-shaped bokeh, but the one in the roses was a pure coincidence! Great also for purely graphic effects...

very nice bokeh,
thank for sharing

The Cooke Kinic f1.9/1" is amazing !!



Just a remember to all : like Klaus said, please show pictures, not just name of lenses, please calvin83 show us some pictures

And I think the 2 Voigtländer Apo Lanthar don't give so strange bokeh, my favorite goes for the Cooke Kinic by now !!
