Smile! The world is a beautiful place (^_^)

2018-40

This changing season ~ Photos made with my Fuji X-T2 and a Pentax-a 50mm lens I found in my parent’s storage, it’s from the late 80’s I think. It’s a very nice and compact little lens; it’s built in metal but only weights 145 grams. I love the bubbly bokeh when shot wide at f2 ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. Wow that is a cool effect. Is it so distinctive because of this particular lens? Great shots anyway ๐Ÿ˜Š

    • Many thanks as always Tony! ๐Ÿ™‚ The soap bubble bokeh effect can be achieved with most lenses with a shallow depth of field. But some (old) lenses have particularly beautiful bokeh, I think!

  4. Another new/old lens?? Wow, that’s cool, Camilla. These are very nice. I like the way the first image features the dry seedhead but has that wet, bubbly bokeh in the background – quite a contrast. Did you have an adapter already that fits this lens?

    • Thanks a lot Lynn! I got a bunch of lenses from my parentโ€™s storage! And ordered an adapter online, so now Iโ€™m good to go ๐Ÿ™‚
