Do need, do want Twisted Evil It seems to have a smoother bokeh than the 83/1.9, it would be interesting to compare them Smile

Thank you Klaus!

Is a signature of Sonnar in the tripled bokeh? Similar in appearance to camera shake. Seen in slightly out of focus lines as stems in #2 and #6, petals in #12. Only within a certain range just past dof. Bokeh smooths farther away than that range.

#15 'doughnut' bokeh is interesting. Is that also signature of sonnar?

Sonnar 1.8/83 has 7 elements, 2/58 has 6.

Thanks for the samples Klaus. The pedigree of the lens is obvious. Are the colours naturally as bright as rendered here (no/limited PP?)

My Lumix GH1 produces these colors. I like this little cam more and more...

"Bright ring" bokeh is a better term than doughnut. The blur discs have a bright ring and bright point in the center. Doughnut bokeh from mirror lenses only consist of a bright ring and a completely dark center (blocked by the secondary mirror).

Nice images! I like how it captures the white flowers.

Great presentation , I especially like #3. No doubt Panny has great colors, even red comes out nicely.

Well I found an image from my sonnar (the old Nikkor-P 105 f/2.5) that had something close to that triple bokeh, but mine appears to be in front of the plane of focus.


I noticed it in the candy signs. Interesting, I've never been able to grasp what I liked about sonnar bokeh, but there's something. That might be a factor.

congrats to your new toy - do you have a preferred shutter speed at your "test fountain" ? Seems the drops are looking very similiar in your pictures i´ve seen from other lenses
