Canon EF 50L f/1.0 wide open

not the most beautiful bokeh but the lens really gives you a lot of it (= exetremely thin DOF)

Loving it all so far! Blur and macros is kind of cheating a bit but I like this one nevertheless.

This is 100%:
This is the whole image (was testing bokeh):

Still great bokeh and rendering for that tight. I have been looking at that lens. You like?

Love it

Somewhere out there, there is a copy on it´s way to me

I am getting quite ridiculously addicted to these 50-ish lenses. Must have ten different now

I think my summicron-R 90/2 is the best portrait lens I've ever used

The 35/2 does a great job too but suffers from coma and is a little busy

It looks like you have some focusing calibration to do. It can take a bit of work getting the manual focus sorted out but its worth it for this lens alone...

Hi,

Yes, I still do. This shot was an early one as I was sanding down the shim and hadn't done nearly enough sanding yet, but I liked the blur.

Best wishes,

Steve

You must be using one of those chipped adapters to be getting the focal length and aperture on the Exif Info...

Yeah, I used a happypageHK adapter to convert the lens. I still have a learning curve with focussing on this lens. Right now I just have a 20D with the standard focussing screen. It is not a real good combination for manual focus. The AF confirmation isn't that good for wide apertures either, but I am hoping with practice I can get better. I plan to get a 5DMKII in the Spring and I will get the Eg-S focussing screen with it as well. I am hoping then I will be able to get better focus. At least the improvement from the 20D should be notable.

OK.. I broke my Canon FL 55mm f1.2 just almost when it was moded to EF mount... /me almost crying...
So I am biased against wide open fast lenses, till I am getting my Rokkor...

Frankly, I like the lenses which blurs the background smoothly after stepping down few stops.

I am finding my Radionar lens blurs the background very nicely.. (Captured with 350D & 50 years old Schneider-Kreuznach Radionar 50mm f2.9 lens, taken out from folding camera mounted on M42 camera cap).

[url=http://flickr.com/photos/asbalyan/2108456455/]

[/url]

And Minolta 35-70mm f3.5 is also not that bad (converted to EF mount)... captured at 70mm @f3.5..

[url=http://flickr.com/photos/asbalyan/3038409479/]

[/url]

Sorry.. nothing like f1.2 or f1.4....

But I have Rodenstock XR-Heligon f=68mm f1.0 Lens, Which I have mounted on broken M42 lens... Focuses to almost 2 feet (fixed focus)... Hoping to mount on G1 in future for portrait work...
