Ever since getting my Helios 44 last spring I've wondered what kind of crazy bokeh I could get from Christmas lights. This summer I got a steal on a Planar 50/1.7, which can have very busy bokeh wide open. And a couple of months ago I bought a Meyer-Optic Primotar 135/3.5, which has similar crazy ring bokeh to the Trioplan.
All shots wide open, focus on Santa's eyes. This isn't scientific, the shots aren't framed identically. (fiddly tripod, and a lot of variation in minimum focus distance)
PP - adjust exposure and gamma, crop, resize
As always, C&C is welcome.
Primotar - I only just finished a very basic (nondestructive) mount conversion and haven't had much chance to to use it. I think it needs a hood in the future.

Helios - There's a funny little spec in the highlights, time to clean this lens I think

Planar - damn those are great colors.
