Some bokeh from Canon FD 85/1.2L:

Eagle_Friends,

Not to nitpick your photo, but just a technical comment - I'm seeing a problem in the bokeh of straight lines that I've seen in a few other pictures.
In the first picture, look at the left of center straight line in the background.
It is a very wide smeared line that does not gradually transition into the surrounding colors.
When i start seeing double lines, it makes me think that there is an undesirable effect going on.
My own lens ain't very fast, but i'll have to try for this effect myself.

Er... which photo are you referring to in this case? haha, I've submitted quite a few in this thread.

Here's one from the Spiratone (aka Soligor) 20mm f/2.8:

Certainly not the typical smooth bokeh, but I like it...it's got character.

Funky! Makes me want to reach out and poke the "bubbles"

Here's one taken with an MC Formula5 f/3.5 200mm attached to an adapter, and the K-5

What I *really* want of course is a DA* 300mm
