Boy--the Samyang/Rokinon 85 sure draws some pretty bokeh for very little money!

Here are three from the Canon "Holy Trinity":

#1. 35L @ f1.4 on 1DsII



#2. 85L @ f1.2 on 1DsII



#3. 135L @ f2 on 1DsII

Nice shots, m3rocket. Love #3.

Voeboe, nice to see some samples from the 77mm ltd!

did you use a pentax body or was the lens adapted to FF canon?

Thanks Empire. I used a Pentax.


The IQ from that Limited looks great...

It's rather impressive the draw of this thread.

This shot is just amazing m3rocket:

M8 + Voigtländer 28/2 Ultron @ f/2:

I used the Ultron 28/2 for a short week once, trying to use it as a normal lens on a G1. I loved the images, really liked the bokeh, and finally had to return it due to the problems with smeared edges and corners. Those Leica "offset" microlenses are a bless I assume.

The corners are not very sharp on M8, but OK for anything I do. I think there's some curvature of field too. Distortion is virtually absent on the APS-H sensor!

Makten, looks great.

Two from the Canon 100 f/2.8L IS:

Voigtlander needs to make an SLII version of that 28/2 !!!

Unfortunately, that's not possible since the rear lens element is ~15 mm from the film/sensor plane.

Voigtlander needs to make a 20/2 or 20/1.4 in some SLR mount for $1100.

and a nice compact 75/1.4 APO to complement the 40/1.2 which they also need to make


EDIT: Just realised that once again these lenses ARE already available in M mount :b

One of the oldies. Not sure if i've posted this before.
Not alternative. Canon EOS 40D with 85mm f/1.2L II near MFD
Notice the "bullseye" on the bokeh.

Onion bokeh.

Yes, the mark I of the 85L has it too. I thought it was a filter, but nope. Dumb vegetable bokeh.

5D2 + RKN MC 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5

Any lens with an aspherical element has a potential for onion bokeh.

It was much more pronounced with my UE code copy of the 85L mkI - I have a very hard time provoking it with my mkII. As TWoK said, the potential for this kind of bokeh signature is related to having an aspherical element.

just joined FM and since i'm on a fairly tight budget i have mostly alt lenses, thought i'd add a few bokeh shots from some of them.

sebboh: VERY nice!
