SMCP-K 50mm f/1.2 @f/2 - which is best aperture on this lens which delivers the trifecta of bokeh and resolution and contrast

That is amazing. Great job! Polarising filter perhaps?

Found some discarded circuit boards at the side of the road and decided to have some fun. FA 77mm Limited with a screw-on macro adapter. I love this combo!

I'm not sure if this is bokeh or grain, but I love the OOF areas on this shot, how they are rendered with the K 50mm f/1.2.

At Niagara Falls with the FA 77mm Limited. I tweaked the colours etc. to bring out the bronze. And then I noticed it looks a bit like a famous robot.

yeah I did use one, I use a linear polariser on my 50mm f/1.2, they don't absorb as much light as circular polarisers do.

Ouch! Any good road rash to show off?

Get well soon.

Not really actually.. I scratched most of it off

I'll take a nice macro of the wound when the cast comes off

Thanks for the kind wishes Richard.

You'll love the lens. I love your HST quote in your sig! This isn't bokeh (sorry, thread), but it does relate directly to your sig, so I think you might appreciate it. This is from 1983, and I just scanned this negative last night, BTW:

Haha, Cool shot Dave. Thanks for sharing that

Just out of interest, where was that taken?

Ivor K Ecks · 04-16-2010, 04:44 AM

I was dissappointed this bird absolutely refused to face me but i still like the shot for the lighting and bokeh.

It was at a somewhat inebriated gathering of college friends (including the guy holding the MX/28mm

), not far from Statesboro, Georgia (US).
