More mush from the Soligor 135mm f1.8. I think this was at f2. A tulip out front to hold the eye (with slightly missed focus), but the image is really for the smooth colours blending together in OOF

I'd like to see your lens.
If it's the old Tokina-made one, with the cemented triplet at the center of the optic, I've never actually seen how it looks.
It's one of the early Soligors that are at the top of my personal "wanted" list, mainly because of its particular optical design.
I'm a little envious...

Thanks, Sue. The monochrome was actually a happy accident

. I didn't like the harsh reflected light on those leaves - it was a washed-out pale green. The mono conversion had the effect of enhancing the leaves' texture, as well as highlighting the foam and bubbles in the muddy stream. Sometimes a little experimentation works out!
