I thought these little tessars were supposed to be soft wide open, but I'm not seeing it. BTW, Todd, looks like you're having lots o' fun with color!

well done guys, this should be a bokeh reference guide for different lenses.

Chase and Sweeney hacking Rollei' lenses are scaring me though, I hope they were off hammered TLR's

The Rollei I killed was beyond economical repair. I still cringed a little when I did it, but I feel good that all parts were used in something. Taking lens is being used to make the most unholga like holga, the viewing lens is in ef mount. I use the ground glass to check focus on cameras, and all of the other bits were used by my girlfriend to make some really strange glasses and mini sculptures.

Thanks. That was from this weekend, with a Zeiss 50mm planar at f/1.4 (slr), on panF

Lowering the standards

Paraphrasing an old joke:

If your pictures don't meet your standards, lower your standards.

Nikkor S.C 50/1.4 at halfway between 1.4 & 2.0

Konica M-Hexanon 28mm/2.8 @ 2.8

Y'all have inspired me to strive to meet my previously higher standards!

Rigid Summicron at f2.0.

Wide open? ... Go, Hexanon!

50/2 M-Hexanon/Neopan 1600..

Probably should have made the scan in b&w mode..

 

[pvdhaar]

Of course, there's not much point in seeing what the CV25/4 does wide open focused at infinity. But here's one anyway..

CV25/4 and Neopan 1600 at dawn..

3 of my efforts. Gate taken with 35 summicron-R, daughter Olly with a 60 elmarit-R and my boy sam with a 35 Ultron on an R2. I like the tractor shot a lot by Gabriel.
