Really not the best option, even though for whom got allready the helical adapter ,there is no waist of money. For a new user,this option is not really worth it, there are so many cheap portrait lenses option out there, smaller size also.

Nice enough adaption, very similar to what I've already done inspired by this site. But the bokeh in this case is actually pretty awful - especially in the trees in the last shot!

IMO Even more distracting than a mirror lens would have produced.

I was referring more to the concept of adapting non standard lenses for taking being lauded in a more mainstream photo site. Yeah I agree on the bokeh. I clicked on the authors "unusual" lens museum and they are mostly mainstream type vintage lenses.

I would prefer an old petzval lens than a modern MC lens.
