I would take off my chapeau to your image.  Beautiful use of the hexagonal bokeh!

Thanks Akira, I took your comment in the Vintage Nikkei thread as inspiration to make good use of the hexagons.

Yesterday we had a collaboration between the arts school and the dance school to show the creations in a "fashion catwalk" with some dance moves throwed in for good measure.

No 'official' Carnaval this year,  which means no public events.

But this year there are no (Corona) restrictions and is the yearly Carnaval on a 'pub' level. 

In this special 'Street' Carnaval is bound to begin...

Great shot, Jack and lovely use of this 6 bladed lens.  It's already too sharp wide open ;)

a bit of chromatic aberration, Fons.  Is the lens easy to focus?

Yes its quite easy to focus since its bright, mind it has no electronics, quite heavy reminds me of the zeiss 100mm f/2 in that respect, flare is an issue, i think portraiture may be its strength etc..
