I'm trying to figure out "wet on wet"- come down to "not too much Over-Correction", better to have under-correction for spherical aberration, medium/low contrast, veiling flare.

This particular KMZ 1952 Jupiter-3 is made from parts, but all the elements are from the same lens. The original optical barrel was the wrong length, unusable.

Warm November Day by fiftyonepointsix, on Flickr1934 5cm F1.5 Sonnar, wide-open on the M9. Lots of sun. The bloom on this lens acts as a natural lens coating. The colors are counter-intuitive for an 86 year old lens.

A number of different lenses. The first is an Aires Coral S 4.5cm f1.5. The second, third and fifth are with a modified Dallmeyer Octac Oscillograph 80mm f1.5. Fourth is an Elgeet Cine Navitar 2 inch f1.5, and the last is with a modified Angenieux Type 65 projection lens. But these aren't the only lenses that produce such bokeh. Here is first a shot with an Elgeet STL-Navitar 86mm f1.2 used in some scientific equipment, and then a shot with a Kodak Ektar 47mm f2 lens from an old Retina IIb. A much wetter bokeh then from a Varo 75mm f1.6 lens. Finally crazy double ring bokeh from a Kilfitt Makro Kilar 90mm f2.8
