I agree, geometric bokeh is really ugly, but in some cases it doesn't show up at all and it can actually give reasonable bokeh where it is insane wide-open. This is my experience with the Vivitar Komine 28/2.0.

How hard is it to modify the FD 24 to EF mount? Most wide angles lenses scare me away since they have elements right at the rear of the lens. And the aperture linkage?


Basically, the mod is the same as with other fd without floating element (50 1.2L 85 1.2L). The hardest part is to montain right centering when you are attaching new bayonet, otherwise your lens would show softness in the corners and color shift arround bright areas.

He means bokeh highlights that have the shape of the aperture blades when stopped down.

Ah, I see. It's a matter of taste, I guess. I've never owned a lens which' bokeh have been ugly because of the aperture shape. Even 5-bladed aperture lenses can give the smoothest bokeh, stopped down.

Stopping down generally makes the bokeh smoother, regardless of the number of blades. Here's a good example that I've posted before:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Makten/Nikkor_50_1_2_AI/DSC_5255.jpg


This is the Nikkor 50/1.2 AI @ f/2.8. The shape of the aperture is impossible to determine. There are 7 blades, and they are not rounded at all.
Wide open, the bokeh is much harsher.

Edit: That's why I wonder about TWoK:s reply:

The bokeh isn't going to get better a stop down because while that might tame the gumdrops it will give you geometric bokeh which no one wants to look at.

So, I'd really like to see some stopped down shots with short DOF from the Oly and Nikkor 24/2.

The issue when compared with the shots I posted is that the aperture blades will show because of the point light sources. Your shot looks great because there really aren't any point light sources in the background, if they were there you could see then for sure.

Finger keeps pulling the trigger, but the gun just goes "click".

TWOK,

Great shot of the little girl on the boat.Great capture of the moment.
Love the wide AOV of the 24 in this shot.

Debuggerus,

That FD 24/1.4 is a sweet lens. Wish it wasn't so expensive on the used market.
This thread is bad for me, as it makes me want to pull the trigger on the new Nikon 24/1.4G.

Yeah, I bought the Samyang 14/2.8 recently and thought "ok now I have enough wide angle lenses" - but when I see the images from the Canon FD 24/1.4 I have the strong feeling I need something like that, or 35/1.4.
Not good, how do I explain that to my women?
