Nikkor 50/1.8 @ 1.8 (top), Nikkor 35-70 f/2.8 AF-D @ 2.8/70mm and @ 2.8/35 "macro" (middle & bottom), shooting distance adjusted to get approximately the same framing. Hard to believe the last 2 are from the same lens...
And because I couldn't resist showing some more of it's weird bokeh, here's the 50mm 1.8 @ 1.8 again (though it seems to be at its worst at very close-focus distances):
Great thread! I recently stumbled over it and have been slowly going through it from start to end over the last few days. Bokeh truly exist in many, many different forms and shapes. I'm still not sure however, if I'm any wiser as to what bokeh I like and prefer 😉
These two examples are both shot with a Tamron 70-200 2.8 on a ev0l "I shalt not speak thy name" type of camera. It's the smoothest lens I have bokeh-wise, but some of that obviously due to the generous focal length.
Greylag Goose at 200mm, 1/640, ISO200, F/4.0. I really like the wavy, smooth rendering of water, although it's not exactly the most challenging background.
Some flowers, handheld at 200mm, 1/250th, F/5.6 and ISO 280 at about 1.0m (lens got a decent close focus distance) in rapidly fading evening light.
Nikkor AF DC-Nikkor 105mm 1:2D on Nikon d40. Wide open with defocus image control set for behind. Background was a very distracting woodlot. Don't know if out of focus/under exposed equals bokah?
