p.1 #1 · Schneider Super Cinelux 80/2: Experimenting With Bokeh
I have been using a Schneider Super Cinelux 80/2 (a Cine projection lens) and a Sony A7ii in Northern India. The lens is sharp corner to corner wide open, with lovely renditions of color and background blur. It is obvious that the background blur can add a lot to these photos, and so I am now very cognizant about what is behind my subject, and how the two elements interplay with one another. The first image is of a friend followed by neighborhood children.

Excellent as always. I'm generally not a fan of portraits with such a shallow depth of field, but I realize the aperture is fixed on this lens, and regardless the execution of these is masterful.
I also just want to say that I'm jealous of the last kid's Crayon Shin-chan shirt. The anime character that is also my spirit animal.

Thanks, Daniel. I appreciate it. This DOF is positively deep compared to results with my F0.95 Rodenstock projection lens. I'll tell you what, this has been good practice for my manual focusing technique.
That shirt must be why the kid looks so happy in this pic!
