Those vintage lenses are such fun. I love the artistic effect, I find I'm enjoying the fact that they don't have the surgical sharpness of modern lenses.

I’d like to split the difference with some low element count Voigtländer action.

At f/10 @Terrycanon ?!?!
That's remarkably pleasant bokeh, considering the aperture.

Yes, it surprised me. I do like that lens.

Bokeh and contre jour. Same lens.

I'm going bokeh barmy at the moment. With a different lens this time.
