My Nikon Z6 loves my new f/0.95 "Bokeh" lens!

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.
