Originally posted by OniFactor carpents, what do you think of the boke from the beercan? since we're getting on about minolta equipment, lol
I love the beercan. (Minolta 70-210/4 for those who don't know.) It sometimes makes me wonder about the Pentax-A 70-210/4, and I'm a little surprised that the Pentax doesn't have the cult following that the beercan does. Maybe because the Pentax isn't autofocus?
I love this shot that I took with a beercan, although it doesn't talk too much towards its bokeh as much as just nice overall rendering:
My good friend Kathy has a copy of this lens. It has some blue/red fringing, but overall it renders very nicely. See the following for some bokeh shots with it (all shots are clickable for bigger sizes):
Good foreground here:
Some blue fringing in the bottom right on this one:
One of the Minolta lenses that I love (possibly because it is a bargain) is the regular 135/2.8. See this shot:
