Crazy combo. Loved all of of them. Very rare lens! I wonder is it Cosina made or other?

I find the bokeh distracting and quite horrible, I'm afraid

Is that the one from the Ricoh Singlex with the Nikon F mount?

I have the 1.4, along with the camera, and have been meaning to try it out. Unfortunately, I have no Nikon digital body, but can possibly persuade the F mount onto my Pentax.
The lens is reputed to have been made by Tomioka, but that might be the usual internet BS, as there's no hard evidence for that.

The Lens originally was in PK mount, then modified into Ai-Mount.

The camera was ahead of its time. Too bad the company lost its way.

Not quite true. Ricoh = Pentax today Smile.

I find it distracting too, not to my taste.
Sad

I think woodrim was referring to Kodak camera.

Nice photos. A very rare lens, never seen one locally.

I am neutral to bokeh, harsh or buttery, they all can be used. I prefer different bokeh in the lens collection.
also bokeh affected by background pattern and distances. It's good to bring both good and bad sides of the lens.
Thanks for sharing.

Interesting cat's eye bokeh, a little bit like Konica (unmodified) 57/1.2 but harsher. Very interesting and rare lens. Thanks for sharing! Could you perhaps post a picture of the lens also?
