Here's two from this weekend, same combo, Bausch & Lomb and speed graphic (I had to hold up a piece of ND filter infront of the lens for the outdoor shots, to keep the shutter speed below 1/1000th)
1st one focused at probably 15-20 feet, 2nd at about 10 feet, 3rd shot focused at maybe 6-8 feet.
Here's one from a macro I'm very impressed with. This bokeh is as good as any macro lens out there (which includes the excellent Zuiko 90/2 macro - a great lens). This lens does 1:1, but doesn't do f2
let me also point out that it's ludicrous to even get on the topic of bokeh unless you're shooting said lenses on a Film or FF/FX sensored camera. You're only cheating yourself to do otherwise.
I like bokeh that punches you in the face. None of this prissy "smooth and blurry" poppycock for me. I want chaos, i want obvious. I want a train wreck with no survivors.

Unfortunately that often translates to "distracting", "irritating", "unpleasant", or "headache-inducing"
I feel rather stupid for posting these, as i only used this lens for one day. The reason for posting these pictures is because i've noticed a certain 3d effect in the way the OOF areas are rendered by my jupiter 37a. that made me wonder if bokeh has anything to do with this. The pictures I post are taken on that day without the intention beforehand to create a 3d effect.

oh come on. This has to be simply the most subjective and pretentious thread i've seen in years.

Haha. Welcome.
We all play with the stuff we have available I guess. Train wrecks? That's modest.
oh man, i didn't see that pic earlier. In all the 50/.95 shots i've seen, i think this is one of the most "aggressive" in showing what the lens is capable of. Thank you for sharing!
Samuli - which version of the L90 did you use - the last prior to it being discontinued (formula was adjusted for better close focus ) or an earlier version?
