nothing tremendous, but jupiter-8 f2, i'm very envious of the shots before me!

Thank you, it was FM2n with 50mm f1.8 on Fujichrome Sensia 400 I think.

That snow/tree shot is awesome.

I don't really know what's good boke or not (I'm new to cameras, this is from the first roll of film I took, about a week ago), but I like the swirly-ness of the light in the leaves.

Not knowing much about how it all works, I was surprised to see the aperture highlights grow more elliptical (but perpendicular to the centre) as they move away from the centre of the image. The aperture on this camera is a `proper' sort, with just 5 blades though.

This thread over on APUG talked about swirly bokeh.
And this thread over on the Large Format Forum also discusses swirly bokeh.

How interesting! Looks like people actually seek out the effect. I liked it but I'm an complete and utter beginner w.r.t photography.

Well Minister Ds are cheap and plentiful, even if the effect is far subtler than some of the shots in those threads. I suppose a max aperture of f2.8 limits the amount of shenanigans that occur.

The front lens group on the Minister D is a little substandard, I wonder if that contributes towards anything.

Yes Ferider, with eyes.

@ Jonmanjiro: I love the middle one, one of the most original blossom shot I've seen in a long time.
