The ultimate Bokeh thread; pics please

[Jack Conrad]

I sold one of those lenses for something like $860.00 a while back.

It's a lens that has a great following and for different reasons.
I like the glow and painterly color rendering.
It's has many "features" all in one lens and of course can be stopped down a bit for a different look.
I kick myself as around 2008 I had 5 copies that I bought in an eBay lot as it was about the same price as buying one.
I sold 3 for $75ea shipped and gave one to a friend on another forum.
Fortunately I have one left.

Great shot (somehow reminds me of Wilhelm Tell)
Curious - Did you use the EVF?

Thanks, that was with the rangefinder using the dedicated 50mm Amedeo adapter. Focus is very accurate.

Nearly 11 months between the last two posts. Is bokeh now passé?

I'd say yes. It also will pass.

^ Kuuan, that's outstanding! I really need to get out at night with my camera once and awhile.

Well, it was passé until you revived it. 😉 I was told the Pentax 6x7 105/2.4 is the ultimate bokeh lens for maximum background obliteration, so of course I had to have it. 😀
