@Tom good shot also that bokeh makes me miss my old petri 55/1.8 screwmount
@spinach bought this lens for 100€ almost new and it's quickly becoming my fav lens ever https://slime.global/media/eHzqSQXKmNQSVzI6tpg
@Tom niiice. i love a lens with personality.
@Tom here's the old petri. just huge globs of spiraling color back there.
@spinach I'm honestly so bored of lenses with "perfect creamy" bokeh, I find it much nicer when lenses have, like you said, personality.
@spinach a couple of years back, I used to be really keen on getting the objectively "best" image quality but fuck that
of course it's nice if I wanna do something professional looking but if I'm trying to make actual art (which is kinda the point), it just makes everything look sorta clinical and spotless imho
@Tom the push for more cleanness and sharpness is extremely offputting, but there is some benefit in that loads of sweet lenses get damn near thrown out all the time. lotta good old japanese and russian lenses out for a song, usually in screwmount m42 or m39 and easy to adapt.
@spinach that's true! kinda like that time in the 90s when everyone threw out their old synths bc "analog is dead, digital is the hot new thing!"
@spinach god that's so pretty
