After accidentally stumbling upon Zenitar ME1 with square aperture, I got curious about other manual-focus lenses that have unusual shape of aperture when partly stopped down, more specifically - star-shaped or polygonal.
These are the ones I know:
Industar 61L/Z 50/2.8 - hexagram
Volna-9 50/2.8 - hexagram
Super Multi Coated Bellows Takimar 100/4 - octagram
What are the other lenses You know about with star-shaped aperture (when partly stopped down)?

Almost all of Vivitar's Tokina-made T4 lenses have eight blades and most exhibit octograms (some TX lenses are also like this). My Vivitar 35mm f/2.8 T4 with its 8 short blades displays an octogram until completely stopped down to f/16. _________________

My dense Schneider Betavaron 3,5...11/0.08 (50-125/4) enlarger zoom has aperture settings marked 1-2-3-4-5. At A1 it's circular; at A2 it's pentagonal; at A3,A4,A5 it's a nice 5-point star, visible in the bokeh. At A4,A5 (about f/11-22 depending on focal length) there isn't much bokeh, but the specular highlights are quite starry.
I also have a cheap toy camera, a Diana-clone Akira TC-002 with a 50/5.6 New Optical Lens that I'll adapt to Pentax (when I can find it in my junk pile), which IIRC has a dirt-simple iris, just a blade that partially blocks the light path, giving a distorted triangular aperture. Funky monkey indeed. _________________ Too many film+digi cams+lenses, oh my -- Pentax K20D, K-1000, M42s, more

Hi!
The Canon FL 35 2.5 has a hexagonal aperture. Not star-shaped, but kind of pretty anyway. I'll find an odd-shaped one to show. Here's the Canon:

When there are bright OOF highlights, of course. You'll get star-shaped blur discs, just like you get hexagons/octagons/etc. with most regular manual lenses. When there are no strong highlights in the bokeh, the aperture shape will make very little difference.

This one has a star-shaped aperture - or at least its a round aperture with "points"
The shape does show in out of focus highlights sometimes - one of the sample shots has a perfect case. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
