wild bokeh, but it vignettes and there is inside reflection obviously.

all 25's vignette, no? i like the portrait colors, very natural.

It is not a razor sharp lens, but renders colors and portraits nicely (maybe it is the pretty woman though )

Quite a few c-mount lenses do not vignette. It has to be tested out individiually. The shorter the focal length, the higher the chance for vignetting (1" or 25mm is usually the turning point).

I like the portrait as posted, and the others of course. I guess I am tolerant when it comes to lens particularities.

Thx for commenting. This forum is really something special with members with genuine interest & and deep knowledge regarding the history and technology of lenses and photography. Very inspiring gang! Thank you!

All of my 25mm and 1 inch lenses in C-mount have a little vignetting, but can in some situations be a nice effect (flowers, portraits).

I am pleased to have the 25mm, 50mm & 75mm in this lens series.

And like Attila and some of you other guys have mentioned before, pretty girls can sell any lens

Yes, I always follow your posts and never look bookshelf tests

Bokeh certainly belongs in the "Love it or hate it" -category

[rbelyell]

i shoot 25's in 6x6 and that both eliminates the vignette, but also is an interesting aspect ratio, esp for portraits.

These should be diminished, if not eliminated, by stopping down?
Can you post a couple showing the same vista? With lots of bouquet/bokeh?

Most examples of this occur with WA 35mm lenses, in my experience, admittedly not as extensive as some here.
