The flowers aren't that special but that "bokeh" is SOMETHING ELSE

...so bare with me. (...)

Hi Mitch,

Welcome.

A somewhat bigger image could help trying to see that background. I also appreciate better descriptions of the lenses. I think you mean Mir-1B 37/2.8 (M42), right?

I think I see a tendency towards swirly bokeh, making me guess this is at f/2.8.

regards, /Jonas

(I wonder if all those Zenit lenses should be grouped together in the index? Maybe it isn't important.)

I just saw one of those SSC 55/1.2's for $100 today. I almost couldn't pass it up.

Well, mine is older FL Canon 55 f1.2, but in general (drawing style) should be the same FD 55 f1.2 ssc and your price seems fair for a clean/mint lens.

Nope. I thought about it but decided not to do it. I plan to use it on an Oly E-P1 along with my other bunch of FD/FL lenses.

Hi, Jim. I used a FD/EOS mount adapter with the center piece glass removed. Downside, no infinity focus. It's fine for this lens since I am using it for close-up, but not for my wide angle and tele-zoom lenses though.

I love that bokeh! Not what you'd want for an all purpose lens perhaps, but it's certainly adding character to the pictures.
