Hexanon 40/1.8 WO on a 50D

OK, here's a non-closeup shot with the CV125, a tourist snap (OK, OK, I know she's "little" ).

5DII w/o

5d... om 50 1.4 @ 2.0'ish

That's some pretty bizarre blur there Micha. Kind of interesting what waves and bokeh combine into.

Speaking of water...

Zeiss 135 again!

Hi Jos,

Welcome with your admirable blur images! But...

...please edit your post and tell us what freak'n Zeiss that was, and also your camera (sensor size is of interest).

EDIT: Thank you!

eow_1: Nice shots with the hexanon, could you perhaps post some crops from the lens wide open and stopped down a little as well? Im quite interested in converting one.

Also, maybe you would be kind enough to make a thread with some pictures of the converted mount and how it was done

Cheers

"We" have became better! Still, aimed at nobody in particular. Just some nagging again because I'm a grumpy person:

This thread has been a joy for the most part of it. Now it can either be forgotten and dropped - or improved?!

May I kindly ask you all to hold back on your macros and extreme close-ups? Background blurred to beyond recognition isn't really a problem for any lens capable of close enough focusing, and a task for any P&S as well as for an SLR camera.

Instead, now let us focus on quality rather than quantity, OK?

Background OOF highlights or strong contrast are of interest
Subject isolation and background rendering is of interest (subject somewhat bigger than a bird at least then)
Rendring of areas going from the focal plane and out from it is of interest
...and some more I have forgotten.

I hope you macro guys don't take any offence.

Please also remember to tell us what lens and camera (sensor size) you used when taking your admirable image. And remember, an admirable image here is not necessarily a piece fo art - but an image giving us an idea about how the lens handles OOF areas.

kindest,

/Jonas

Really fantastic.

A truly astounding lens, Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH wide open. Sorry for the quantity Jonas, I don't see any other examples from this lens so I figured why not share

I like that crowded and saturated image Peter, a leaf as a neon sign....

Well, I'm happy for the quantity and you shouldn't be sorry for any blown parts. Many various images are very much welcome. A 35Lux...that's not bad.

That's some smooth OOF backgrounds there!

I don't particularly want to, but I do need an MP-E 65. No real leads yet, though, so I have a feeling the Oly is here to stay.

It probably is the all-around best 50mm I've ever used--and it's sitting next to a Summicron right now.

I understand, I just sold my 50Cron. The Zuiko stayed on the camera and the Leica spent all the time on the shelf.
