77mm; its about the bokeh stupid!

77mm; its about the bokeh stupid! · 05:43 PM

There are many things I like about my 77ltd, but I'd say the thing I like most is the almost magical bokeh it can produce. DS 77mm F1.8: f1.8 @ 1/500

NaCl(anybody else got any great bokeh they'd like to share?)H2O

Nice Bokeh. Kinda sounds like a chessy pick up line eh ? Here is my contribution. Taken in the back yard when spring had sprung (and now I as look outside at the cold and snow!)

I believe this was taken with the Tamron 28-75

TaoMaas · 12-01-2007, 07:55 AM

Here's one from this summer. This one was taken with a SMC-A 35-105mm f3.5.

TaoMaas · 12-01-2007, 07:56 AM

And one more taken with an SMC-A* 200mm f2.8.

Here's another shot, not with the 77ltd but my venerable FA50 1.4. Close of of one of the spires of a model of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC. Taken at last years Holiday Train Show at the NYBG. DS with the FA 50mm 1.4; f2.8 @ 1/125

NaCl(little bit different than my other shot)H2O

There are no BOKEH images. There are images with some areas being out of focus (OOF).

The quality (or type) of OOF rendering is called "bokeh" and it depends on several factors: lens type, used aperture, distance to subject (or area in focus) as well as color, contrast and lighting of areas that are not rendered sharp.

For example, if you set your camera on tripod and use two 50mm lenses set at the same aperture and focused at the same subject you will get two identical photographs. However, several things may look differently and one of them could be appearance (or rendering) of OOF areas, with the first lens rendering them in a more pleasing way than the second. In that case we would say that the first lens has better "bokeh". That's all and to some extent subjective interpretation.
