p.12 #1 · Really fast 50 Bokeh

Thanks, TM. (actually, that's my sig as well...funny)

Whoever said the 50/1.0 isn't sharp wide open didn't have a good copy. But obviously, the plane of focus is razor thin at 1.0

Hello Alf,

those were f2.0, because focusing on f1.2 is very hard task - so think to modify another Nikon DK-17M - just try on from my 5D - really helpfull.

and have to say rokkor 58 f1.2 has completely different look from FF body - i think it is more foveon and crop factor job in rescpect of creamy bokeh and overall look.

Ouch!...Those OOF highlights are extremely distracting!...I noticed that in other Rokkor shots so I guess its just a normal phenominon for that lens.

Just a test shot from my Rokkor 58 f/1.2 wide open:

Another test shot - haven't had a chance to really use it that much for serious shooting yet. It sure does obliterate the background, though:

Hi tmessenger,

Even though that background is nicely blurred, I still find my attention is drawn to it rather than the flowers.

Must be the colors, here's a b&w version that puts the attention back on the flowers...........right.

It's useless testing bokeh with flowers: they are the ideal bokeh background.
Stone walls and statues are too easy also.

And that feminine bokeh is a serious distraction from the subject for approx 50% of the world population.

You might say that I'm biased, but somehow I still like the Bokeh and the color of Rokkor 58 over that of Canon
It has more POP for me.

However, as I said before and IMHO, the king of SMOOTH bokeh, even though it only goes to f/2.8, is Volna-9.

It's hard to know without using both lenses on the same body with the same processing? I think the Sigma SD14 is going to produce a different / better file then my old 10D? But yeah the Rokkor is a great lens, also 3 x the price of the FL.
