Lovely portrait, Pan, lovely image.
This thread certainly came alive last night after 4 months hibernation.

I've found this little guy having an interesting way of drawing the out of focus areas (excuse the white blob in the first picture - film was touching during developing).

Test of Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 on Sigma SD9



Test of Helios 44-2 on Sigma SD9. Close Focused to get max bokeh size. Quite good swirl for a full frame lens on a 1.7 crop camera!

A pair of 35mm Flektogons;

Carl Zeiss Jena 35mm f2.8 (Zebra) Flektogon @f2.8 (~1974)

Carl Zeiss Jena DDR 35mm f2.4 MC electric Flektogon @f2.8 (~1980)

The earlier Flektogon design shows the highlights with more of a "cat's eye" feature than the later MC electric. Other than that they are very similar in bokeh.

If "Swirly" is your cup of tea, this lens is pure joy.
