Christmas table shots with Petri CC 55mm f/1.4

Took a few shots of the christmas table with the Petri CC 55mm f/1.4. Like the f/1.8, a very nice bokeh lens IMO.

I think i would buy this lens if i don't have the Zeiss.

Nice lemon shaped OOF light points

Looks like an interesting lens to work with.

I should try and get a shot of our tree before the grand children get here and un-wrap their gifts...

beautifully sharp enough and smooth rendering, very nice

Great shots from a lens that is often overlooked due to its rather obscure mount.

This might inspire me to jump on the next cheap Petri bayonet body I see and construct an adapter for L mount, since AFAIK, none exists ATM.

Thanks for the info! I had reached out to whom I think was the same guy (he's in Texas, right?) last year, and he said at the time that he wasn't making one in L mount, but I guess he's begun to do so. I've had a nice example of this lens sitting on my shelf since then, so it'll be nice to be able to use it on my everyday shooter.

[caspert79]

Yeah, I believe he’s from Texas. He produces other rare adapters as well.
It’s not all that expensive, and definitely better than anything I am able to produce.

casper, would it be too much to ask to make next time with this lens 2 shots / versions as you have Sonja,

one in aps-c and one in ff ?

I wonder how and if is something lost on the crop size and what is gone from the nice oof

Here's what APS-C version would look like:

If you want the subject framed similarly as in the FF image, you'd have to take more distance to the subject, and the DOF would increase resulting in less blurred background and smaller bokeh balls.
