Cold bokeh with Yashica ML 50mm/1.4

Took a short walk in the wood yesterday but the cold really got to me – at least I got one testshot of the bokeh with Yashica ML 50mm/1.4 before I gave up. These are some dead plants. One thing I noticed was that that highlights in bokeh when the lens is wide open get hard edges on the circles. Something to avoid, I think. Otherwise the lens feels great.

    I understand your fascination with old cameras Mattias, lens blur is one few things that is hard to simulate in software like PS and Gimp. Well, it’s quite easy to create lens blur, but real lens blur and algorithmic variations play in different aesthetic leagues. This Bokeh is simply wonderful!
