... nice hexagons septagons (thanks Akari).

Df, Nikon SE 36-72mm 1:3.5, reversed as follows: 36-72, regular mountet 4 T, 21mm length metal lenshoud used as an extension (52mm lens side, 58 mm filter side), 58-52mm downstep ring, BR2
@ f/9.5 and t=1/250s
(notes may be not completely accurate here)
This combinations allows for brilliant close ups and macros. It has a strong tendency to produce septagons on any light source in picture or any stronly illuminacted contrast edge.
Working distance is on the short side but longer than with the 60mm AF-S G.

Akira, you inspire me to post one with the same lens... ;)

D700 + CRT 55mm f/1.2

Francis, nice response!

... nice hexagons

Thomas, sorry to nit-pick, but these are septagons...

Børge Wahl: Your three entries in #26 are really amazing. Thank you for sharing your inspiring work.

Akira: The first one in #39 is totally amazing.

Trouble with most of the others is I have seen them before.

Here are some of last summer. I feel the 1.8/50G is able to perform some nice dreamy effects if used wide open in the near field in the right light:

Thanks, Frank.  It has been used as my desktop image for years.

Love the second one in the latest series: looks like a fairy tale illustration.

Df, 28mm 1:2.8 AI-s, @ f/2.8, t=1/500s
Background can get a bit harsh, needs sufficient distance to background if there are edges and geometric elements.

Allow me to offer an image that I believe is kind of painted.
Taken with 28/2 and a K1 extension ring :)

CRT-Nikkor 55 mm f/1.2 apparently is popular in this thread. Thus I'll throw in a few of my own.
