Getting the bubbly bokeh out of this lens is not as straightforward as some people think (me included). So many variables... The angle, where the light is coming from, the background distance from the subject, your distance from the subject... But when it pops......
Sony a7 + Helios 44-2 --- ISO 50 --- f/2 --- 1/800 sec
THAT SMALL GESTURE WILL MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE TO US!
“Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, take another shot.”
Thank you, @hubbsteem.
That difference on the bokeh bubbles is actually a known concept "defect" in this lens. Ironically that flaw is what gives it the character and reputation we all know :))
This thing slaps in the face of 50 years of optical research in barrel distortion, chromatic aberration. Basically everything Canon and Nikon told us that is good for us, and asked us to pay top dollar for .....
Completely agree, @azircon. I would pick one of these vintage glasses over almost any contemporary lenses around. Of course there are exceptions, fast AF is still most welcome in some occasions.
WOW. this mythical lens!
perfect photo. I really like my dear friend. great focus!
Thanks a lot, @artizm!
Wonderful...in the middle the bokeh pattern was circle (look likes bubble) but at the edge it became oval..the picture became more artistical ...cool

uuuuuuuuuuuu :)
And it's all your "fault", hope you know that :P
I've used this lens before. I always love the bokeh effect. You have used it successfully. as usual. exceptional!
and have a nice day .. my friend :)
Thanks! Hope you still have it :))
Oh my.. very nice bokeh! I love it
Thanks a lot, @matajingga!
That poor flower doesn't stand a chance against all those bubbles ;-)
No worries, bubbles are generally softies :D
