This is why I prefer to shoot the details on a car instead of the whole car. I get shots like this.
Dynamic xenon headlights on a BMW.
This is why I don't usually shoot the whole car, preferring to focus in on the details. The lines, the curves and especially the lights.
I'm not a big BMW fan, but they do make some cool lights.
I have a broken Domiplan that is somehow missing first element. From time to time I attach random pieces of glass to see effects. This time it is a front group from Xenon 50mm f2 lens. Result is soft but I found it attractive enough to share.

This saw blade is less than a mm thick.

S.K. Xenon 50mm f1.8 from Rollei cameras. It was supposed to be a cheaper option to Zeiss Planar but mechanical quality and IQ are exceptional IMHO.

Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Xenon 75 mm F2 (fixed aperture)" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
This is a version for Retina cameras but not named Retina-Xenon. It has short MFD of 0.5m compared to 0.9 of more common Retina-Xenon. Obviously it has longer barel but other than that it is the same lens optically.
As all Xenons it is a beautiful and precisely made. It is similar optical design to Biotar so it is not surprise that it swirl in right conditions. But it is also capable of creating very smooth aquarelish bokeh too.
If I do not want to exaggerate a bit bokeh affect, no post processing is really needed. Colors are rich and natural. Here I worked hard to restaure the details and some colours in peony flower. It is almost impossible to get right this kind of composition straight out of camera. Something has to give up. Or flower is burnt or background is too dark. Lot of pushing and pulling is needed to make it right in the post. Xenon will render enough informations in RAW file to make it possible. I did not try to remove artifacts and as you may see there is not much of them

With a Schneider-Kreuznach Rollei SL Xenon 50mm f1.8.
A good test of the lens's sharpness, bokeh transitions and CA wide open. Resting the camera on the railings, trying to nail the focus.
I've posted a large file so you can zoom in to see how sharp the lens is wide open. The bokeh transitions look good. There's some purple fringing - in the in-focus white splodge, and also along the right hand side edge of the curved part of the railing.

Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Xenon 35 mm F2" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Xenon 50mm f1.9 bokeh withs some flares. This Xenon has very deep front element retraction. That gives it quite good flare management.

Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f1.9 DKL short MFD lens, as the all other Xenon lenses I tried is joy to use and it did not hide its double gauss nature. Its 0.6m MFD is still not close enough compared to some other fast fifties but there was only one other Xenon lens that comes closer. For me it is not a big deal as I use helicoid adapters for almost all my vintage lenses.
It is very (vintage) sharp at the center and bokeh is painterly impressionistic even when there is no sunshine or light sources in the background.
No post ptocessing is done other than standard Nikon presset.

A stroboscope. It uses the same basic xenon flashtube technology as flashes, large and small, for photography, except that it's designed to flash at an adjustable rate to freeze motion, such as shown in this clip I recorded over seven years earlier.
The unaltered photo was originally going to be used as a recent Macro Mondays submission, but I decided against for fear it might not conform to the theme.
