I like this thread as it can give a sense of how lenses perform in more extreme conditions. Here are a few contributions.

In the category of "bad bokeh" IMHO - how about this eye-jarring square/diamond/rhombus/whatever stuff? I find it really, really jittery and busy.

On the other hand, I like these hexagons... not a RF, but an Auto-Yashinon DX 50/2 in front of a Yashica TL SLR. The film is Agfa Vista Plus 200, pre-processed by hauling it through two airport security X-rays. 😉

Awesome... with a cardboard box and magnifying glass. I love it. You should slap a red dot on that box. 😛
