In your face is right...I think thats probably the worst bokeh I've ever seen!...And its very supprising given the ultra fast aperture.
worst? I guess it's subjective.

Some cheap bokeh from the (I'm REALLY stretching it here) Phoenix 100/3.5.

F/6.3:

F/3.5:

Not bad for a US $100 (new) lens is it?

Still playing and getting used to the Rokkor 58/1.2.

Hmm, I need to update the first post again. I'll do that. Here are two quickies:
The Sigma 50/1.4 mounted to a handheld Canon 450D did this a windy day (yes, several tries to get the AF to get them):

first wide open at f/1.4:

and then stopped down to f/2:

Nikkor 105/1.8 @ f/4 on Nikon D200. This is what you could call "perfect bokeh" with no harsh edge of the OOF CoC:s. Wide open, it isn't as nice, but from f/2.8 and on the bokeh is just great.

Nikon 75-150/3.5 Series-E has the most Gauss-like bokeh of all lenses I've tried. This is at f/11, but it's good already wide open.

Crop of the upper right corner. The aperture is heptagonal, but you cannot even see it, despite the "bad" highlights.

SMC Pentax-A 50/1.2 on EOS 5D. Not stereotypically super-soft, but this is a worst case scenario in midday sunlight wide open and with lots of bright reflections. Very low degree of longitudinal CA, but quite a bit of nisen-bokeh.

After f4.0 you can stop it down, you don't get the Ninja-Star.

Does this look like Johnny 5 or what?

I really like this bokeh, could use it for some effects, what is this lens exactly, and would I need to use on 1DsII ?

Hi KiboOst

This is the Olympus zuiko 55mm f1.2.
You can use it on any eos body with a simple adapter. Its a little rare these days, it might take a some patience to find one on ebay. You shouldnt pay more than $300 for a good copy.

Cheers,
Spyro

Here's an interesting one, from a Nikon 300/2.8 at 2.8, focused at about 5 meters away (that's a hand railing that I focused on). I really enjoyed this image for some reason!

Man, that's a book of photo examples if I ever saw one.

I am very tempted to spend hours downloading all and making a reference book out of same...............but my family is looking over my shoulder and saying "then go buy another computer and get off this one!" And, of course, running down everyone's copyright permission would take forever!
