Taken with a very badly delaminated 50mm zeiss 1.5 sonnar from the late 50's. many people would throw this lens out, I choose to regard it as a treasure... I think it speaks for itself really.

Bokehlicious! And two gorgeous ladies. You are a lucky man, Hamish.

 

[Pete Askew]

Superb. The picture of Hannah is wonderful. A treasure indeed!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Amazing!! Bokeh is my weakness... I love it.

 

[Hamish Gill]

The bokeh is a bit weird if you ask me. At first glance it looks as though the lens was stopped down, but the shape of the spectoral highlights is actually down to the delamination - there is black stuff blocking the light in places. It's shot wide open, I forgot my light meter, so since I was under some trees I was just erring on the side of of caution with the exposure.

What I'm most pleased with is the gentle toning.

Wonderful. I agree that the Bokeh looks a little weird, if you look at it out of context with the image. On the whole though I think it goes well with the lo-fi look.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Show off.
Agree with you...tones are excellent.

Total 70s vibe Hamish - very retro - wonderful stuff

Both ladies looking radiant

Two smashing images but "Wife" is a stunner! Er,...what I mean is the photo is a stunner. Er,...what I mean is the photo is only a stunner because your wife is in it. Er,...what I mean is,...er,...nice capture!
