Bokeh of four 50mm lens (f0.95, f1.4, f1.5, f1.8)

I like to adapt manual focus lens on a7.

Here i'd like to share the images of four 50mm lens.

Their bokehs are different when apertures are wide open. Choose your favorite. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

I like the Voigtländer most - as I have an "ä" on my keyboard

For me it would have to be the Mitakon SpeedMaster as it is a lot more creamier and smooth than the rest.

But it is not comparable and not really sharp too

To compare the bokeh he should use the same Apperture for all lenses.

If we leave out the Mitakon, the Ultron ist my favourite too!

Danke für die Gegenüberstellung, mir gefällt der Charakter des Jupiters am besten.

I like the Ultron.

The spiky bokeh best suits the shot IMHO.

Why is everybody bokeh-crazy? It seems to be so common lately that people are more concerned with what is out-of-focus than the in-focus part. Unlike the past the main criteria for a lens is bokeh instead of IQ/resolution

In most uses, including on screen, it's very hard to gauge the actual IQ or resolution of an image while the bokeh is very obvious ?

For me a pleasant Bokeh is IQ!

Sharpness is not so important for a good picture but an ugly Bokeh can kill it completely

[dbaechli]

For me, a pleasant bokeh can make the thing in focus pop out of the picture. It does not always have to be those halos, but just a smooth bokeh, and things fly towards you. Yet, you are right, I think it is a bit of "en vogue" ,-)

 

Sony a7 & Konica Hexanon AR f2.0 (the rare one):

Bokeh & Color - Ultron, it's sharp, its bokeh is appealing, and the colors work better I feel.

 

Juptier-3 - Seems sharp enough that I can see little details in the fabric, but the background color looks a bit washed out and faded.

 

Carl Zeiss Jenna looks to have a weird yellowish tint which makes th epicture overall less appealing.

 

The Mitakon SM probably has better looking bokeh stopped down but at 0.95 it looks overwhelmingly soft. Partly due to the paper focal point.

 

It'd be nice if we could see them in another test at the same aperture as well as their max aperture. Mos

[Cheatah]

For me is this Japanese invention vom bokeh totally overused and secondary!

[tedbahas]

Ultron for me. The contrast is better wide open and the background less distracting. Also the color rendering seems richer. Less green shift.

sorry but I had too.. Love my Konica bokeh!

The AF-Hexanon 1,8/85mm is  beautiful lens, especially with the A7. Not just because of its bokeh but also because of its sharpness
