Distagon HFT 35mm 1.4 at f/5.6 .... weird:
Why do you suppose they went with a triangular aperture on the Rollei version of this lens? It's pretty unique bokeh, unmistakeable. Do you have need of an original Kindai Eos adapter for the lens?

Hi Thatspeck,
i have no idea, why they used 3 blades, but they have several TV or cinema lenses with 3 blades ( http://cinematechnic.com/resources/zeiss_super_speed_f1,2_lenses.html ). Sometimes you can see, that in TV sports some cameras have just 3 blades (watch the lens flares). But as i said, no idea, what was the special reason...
would be nice, if somebody could comment that: why do they use a triangular blade ?
however, it special and sometime pretty cool
The adapter i use is a modified Leitax- QBM-EOS adpater. i had to remove a bit from the adapter, cause my lens seems to be a bit unusual. (It is german, but you can see a picture of my lens):

L,
Is your Leitax qbm/Eos mount a discontinued Leitax product or something you've customized yourself? Can find no qbm products on the Leitax website.
There is a nice looking Contax AEG 35/1.4 on the B/S board here at the moment. Something I'd love to have though with two other 35's it's hard to justify. Someday perhaps...

Shot was from this Spring along route 264 in eastern North Carolina, called a "highway enhancement area." I really appreciate the state roads people going to the trouble of planting flowers. Some may think this is frivolous, especially during hard economic times. I feel their beauty and a few moments of visual enjoyment and respite from everyday pressures is uplifting.

Oh no, not at all.
I made a big mistake when purchasing this top lens : I didn't check it's mount
This Vivitar is in Minolta mount, while I use Canon. (I thought it's a Nikon or other EOS-friendly mount ... a big mistake).
While I've converted 3 Rokkor lenses before, somehow I don't have a heart to convert this lens. It's a very mint lens. I will offer this lens to local Minolta camera users community. I hope this lens will find a new good master
But I wanted to taste this legendary lens, so I bought Minolta-EOS adapter with no optic. So it's like a thin extension tube.

I've used a Canon FD mount version of the Tokina 90/2.5 in the same way for some years, with a macro adapter, with excellent results. I was ok with it not focusing beyond 40cm or so, but I finally got it converted to EF mount.
