Here's one from my MIR 24 35mm f/2.0 at f/2.0 on a Canon 5D3 of some bunting at a festival last summer. I used a preset in Lightroom to change it a bit...

Wow, what bokeh! Is Rikenon 50/1.7 XR version with the same bokeh, or other optical formula?

Bunting?

I have bunting!


(Leitz Elmaron 150mm f/2.Cool

I should crop out the first bunting really to satisfy the thread requirement...

@ edri
I'm not up to speed in any way on the difference or similarities of optical formulas of the rikenons but am sure someone on here has the answer for you.
Here's another from this evening with the little rikenon.

Another wow. I have not really been paying attention to Rikenon lenses, as some have that infamous Ricoh pin for Pentax DSLRs. After these images I need to reconsider my position and LBA priorities Wink

Very beautifully done.
That is really something.
Well done lens and photographer

great thread, very interesting photos!

( P.S: one or the other German member may remember a similar thread that I had made a few years ago in a German forum and the beating I had received for it. I am very happy to see the overwhelming positive reception and good participation here and now! )

Kuuan,Some people just don't get it and miss out on the creative fun.

you are so right Mo, let's have fun!

wow ... mine is not as fantastic as the last two pictures.

I am also delighted that there is a "bokeh only" community of photography enthusiasts who sees the picture differently, in a way that "to be sharp" does not matter. Many beautiful photos with its own character in this topic. Now I come into this world with a bus. Wink



On the other hand, this forum is toxic Smile for those suffering from LBA. Although I decided that I have enough 50's, right now I ordered a Rikenon 50/1.7 because of some pictures posted here.

It's threads like these that remind me how I really wish we had a simple 'like' button for each post. I know there's a Fartbook one but I'm not interested in that, it would be nice to simply 'like' posts Sad there's so many good posts here but it's hard to reply to every single one.
I'm sure this has been discussed before and I don't think this type of forum has the option, unless things have changed now..... Question

You might use the 'No rate' button on the left of the 'Private' button. It will change to 'Rating: (with a star)'. See your message above.

The Rikenon P pin is only,as far as I know found on the newer plastic lenses (for one of the later Ricoh cameras).The Auto Rikenons of the all metal variety are safe, no pin just a standard M42 mount.

Yes, the ones that write XR are no pin.
