I recently picked up a Meopta Meostigmat 35mm f1.3. It covers APS-C nicely. None of that aggressively bubbly triplet bokeh. I believe the Meostigmats are double gauss, and this one is quite nice to my eye. This is not aggressively processed.

Yes indeed they are! I have that same lens too, quite a nice performer, not as crazy as the f1.0/50mm but a nice one. Personally the 1.4/70mm is my favorite lens. There also is a (now) quite rare f1.0/70mm one (which I too have, new in box) but needs surgery to get it close enough to the sensor.

Hi Klaus,

I am, as you know, a fan of slightly less tame bokeh than the Meostigmats exhibit. I also have the 70mm f1.4 but rarely use it. One that I like is the Dallmeyer 51mm f1.5 Mk III, which satisfies my edgy taste.

Well done Toby, interesting lens this is!

OK, you like less tame, so how is this for you?

Guess I'd call it "flame on!"

Great example of how the background accentuates the subject - doesn’t distract from it. Wonderful!

A previously unknown to me, slow projection lens f5 71mm

Part I: The blue series...

Has some pleasant bokeh, shows very impressive sharpness and is one of the very few lenses
I have which reproduces rich colors, right as I have seen and memorized them!
