Originally posted by tuco I'd say I've been pleased with the bokeh on the 105/2.4 overall. But the complex foliage on that second one is, well, pretty nervous. Do you remember the aperture of that shot?
I don't recall the aperture, no - my note-taking has become haphazard at best, but I was shooting for semi-thin dof so I'd guess f/4 at most. Definitley wasn't wide open. Hard to imagine even a zeiss taming that frame though - that tree was cut heavily a few years back by the landlord; there were more new shoots all with blooms and light fissuring through than imaginable (or healthy for the tree really), and layers behind it into the evergreens. Likely could've been tamed opening more, but that wasn't my aim. If I'm honest, I'd have preferred a Helios at the time... a fever dream.
