Blue Spruce Buds (Explore! 2/22/24)
Shot using a Mansfield Mantinar 40mm f2.8 Rangefinder lens that was converted to M42 mount @f4
Whats so cool about this lens is that its so cheap! They only used 4 blades in this lens. That and it was never meant to be used in a SLR application.
You can see the effect of the 4 blades of the aperture in the bokeh. It makes squares. And to most people, that's really "not great." I like it! Its different.
