Every time you remind me to spend more time with this lens. I like the milk drop effect on the first one, Akira.

John and Bruno,

thanks for dropping by and commenting.  Glad you like either of them.

Shooting with CRT Nikkor is challenging but irresistible.  Its bokeh character enables the visual effects you liked.  :)

Akira:

Very soft, dreamy looking.  Would be interesting to see a version of #1 that was just a bit sharper on the center, fading off to the delicate edges. Just personal taste on my part.

Cheers

Randy

Randy and Elsa, thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Randy, the sharpening didn't worked unfortunately.  I used M2 ring (27.5mm long) to get closer, and the lens was pushed way beyond its limit.

Bob, I noticed I haven't seen your flower images for quite some time.  Glad you are inspired.
