My bazooka-like Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 80-200mm f/4.0 produces wonderful bokehs. But you can bring its performance to a new level. The secret sauce? Using an original Asahi Pentax extension tube (#3) not only allowed me to get it to focus closer (210mm setting at nearest focusing distance), but also enhanced its bokehs significantly. To show what I am raving about, am posting three photos taken yesterday early evening. These are all handheld shots at ISO 800 (first photo) and 1600 (last two) using my trusted K5.

All DA* 55mm:

even though the bokeh is quite "nervous" here, I think it works for the feel of this shot.

definitely my new favorite lens, maybe its just something about the second copy of the 77mm, but it is less sharp and has more CA than the original one I rented, so comparing the latter 77 copy I got, the 55mm is better. But that first FA 77 I rented... Dear god that lens was amazing, little CA wide open, incredibly sharp and the colors just pop. Makes it hard to decide which one I'm buying next! haha

5x Sigma 35mm f1.4 (sometimes the bokeh from this lens is very creamy)

No flowers here no processing in the image either (some of the images posted here look so fake they can be confused with CGI), no sharpening, just old school camera, glass and film:

Problems because my face is better than yours even without post processing?

C'mon work a little bit with photoshop, with your skills I'm pretty sure you can post here some decent "moody mirro selfie" too...
