@rogue@hans- ooh . I don't care- I like the colours and the dreaminess of it.... I can differentiate between what's in focus and what isn't, I thought the overall effect was enough to justify keeping it.

swirly bokeh

swirly bokeh

When I Google "swirly bokeh," most of the examples are from large format lenses (supposedly the 3-element lenses are the most likely to get swirly) and the 50/1.0 Noctilux. Some more I just came across with swirly bokeh are the Classic Heliar 50/2, Helios 40-2 85/1.5, 50 Summitar, and the original Nokton.

Hi,
I came across a guy in flickr modified a Schneidier 50mm lens and used with Leica M. You may want to search. I suppose it creates more swirls than others. And he has some other fast lenses modified too. Another one is Angenieux.

His nick is doo3, all of you must visit his gergous site.

With no leaves in the background, the Canon 50/1.4 can be very nice. On Neopan 400:
