Problem with my FA50/1.4

It was acting oddly tonight.

It seems to be allright, aside from the wierd star shaped bokeh. But that's caused by the aperature blades themselves, or if you put a black mask on in front of the lens with a star cut out in the center.

I think the effect works well in the 2nd & 3rd pics, but not so well in the 1st & 4th. The stars look somewhat "pasted-on" to me in the latter.

But I'll remember this and try to have some fun with it at some point...

Yes, you are right on all counts. The lens is fine and I did put a black mask in front of the lens. Just having a little fun with the idea I read about here:
