During our peak of autumn colors was last week, I had the opportunity to test out my new bokeh lens. Attached is one of many thin DOF images I took with my new $200 USD Zhongyi "Speedmaster" f/0.95 lens.
I purchased it last month on eBay. I scored such a great price because the aperture is stuck wide open.
After taking hundreds of images with it on my Z6 camera, I'm liking this one-trick-pony lens. I think that I'll keep it. Maybe I'll find other things besides autumn colors that look good at f/0.95. Any suggestions for other subjects I might consider shooting with it?

Look for shapes. This is an agave plant imaged with the Nikkor 50/1.2 AiS wide open.

Put extension on its rear and explore the near world.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I believe that I'll combine the two and take closeup/macro photos of shapes at f/0.95.
