Love that bokeh wrath

Thanks, the 24/2 AIS has really odd gumdrop bokeh towards the edges of the frame.

Yeah that happened to me the other day on Yahoo Autions Japan with a few things I wanted. $152 would have been an amazing deal on a 24/2 as I rarely see them go for under $400.

That is very very interesting burningheart. You have a USD 4.000+ lens with the most beautiful MTF-curve, being a truly true APO lens to that...?!!

There is a lack of "pop" in these images. Is it correct to believe you have posted the images "unprocessed", i.e. no sharpening applied? Or is it just me and the monitor here at work? Or, maybe they should have been stopped down to f/5.6. I don't know, and I'll probably never even see this lens in real life.

May I ask what use you make of this lens? regards, /Jonas

Yes unproccessed, I usually shoot UV and IR with this lens. Yes F5.6 is better to shoot at than F4. For closeups though I would normally shoot to F11.
Here is a better example shot at F11 on Fujifilm S5 camera with a little sharpening taken this past summer when it as warmer (not -30 with windchill as it was today) and the sun higher in the sky

Although not a normal picture this is a UV light only filtered (Filter used UG 11x)shot of a dandelion at F4 on Fujifilm S3 UV/IR camera.

Thank you for elaborating! Who can not like the details in the first image, or the bokeh in the second? That's admirable blur to my eyes.
(I would get tempted to soften a few details in the background on the second one - there are some details getting a bit close to the focus plane and they may distract (me at least).)

Found a tree out in the woods someone decided to decorate. Shot with Nikon 200-400 F4 at 400mm on Canon 5D MKII with Mark's G Adapter. That's my reflection in the glass ball.

Nice shot BH - that crop is amazing. I knew the 200-400 was gem, but it looks it's a sweet match with the new high-res sensors.

Thanks, not a crop though that is the full frame shot at close to MFD. I was originally shooting a blue ball but lighting change so switched to the gold color all. Turned out to be a better choice.

I was shooting some still life and realized I shoot some images suitable for bokeh examples, specially regarding LoCA.

Picture 1: Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZF @ f/2

Picture 2: Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZF @ f/5.6

Picture 3: Canon EF85mm f/1.2L USM Mark II @ f/1.2 (with extension tube, which will not make LoCA smaller...)

Picture 4: Canon EF85mm f/1.2L USM Mark II @ f/2.2 (with extension tube, which will not make LoCA smaller...)

Since I got quite a lot of LoCA with both of lenses, I decided to shoot same scene my most "closest to APO" lens for reference.

Picture 5: Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM @ f/2.8 (with extension tubes, 68mm)

Picture 6: Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM @ f/9 (with extension tubes, 68mm)

Picture 7: Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM & EF 2.0x II @ f/5.6 (even it's said that extenders, specially 2x make the bokeh worse it doesn't look that bad)

I really like this one.

I wouldn't mind trying the Zuiko 28mm out myself...

Thanks for the LCA test, Samuli! On becoming familiar with CA, it's all I can see.

Really takes the fun out of selective focus - unless the lens has caliber approaching the 280/4 APO-Telyt-R!

FWIW, though it has the same source, it's not strictly longitudinal CA unless it's present at the focal plane. A lens can be a apochromatic and still have defocus colour, though being an apo is a good indication that the degree will be moderate. As with longitudinal CA, stopping down usually reduces the effect as well.

Agreed, although I don't know the scientific term.

In more words, one could say we want the exit pupil to have the same angular diameter at the image plane throughout the spectrum.
