Steinheil Cassar S 2.8 50mm, 12 blades, M42 mount, stop 4.0 on Sony A7RII)
Steinheil Cassar oder Wie entsteht eigentlich ein Seifenblasenbokeh?
Das sog. Seifenblasenbokeh ist eine inzwischen vielgeschätzte Eigenschaft besonders älterer Objektive. Hier sind die Triplets führend, also Objektive mit nur 3 Linsen wie dem Steinheil oder auch dem Trioplan bzw. Domiplan von Meyer Optik Görlitz. Das besondere Bokeh entsteht durch eine chromatische Überkorrektion und besonders an den äusseren Linsenbereichen. Daher ist die Wirkung voll aufgeblendet grösser. Die Münchner Firma Steinheil war in den 50iger und 60iger Jahren auf Augenhöhe mit Zeiss und Leica, produzierte Objektive u.a. für Kleinbildkameras wie die der Fa. Braun (Paxette etc.). Ich bin auf diesen Namen aufmerksam geworden nachdem ich ein Vintagefernglas erworben habe und verblüfft war über das fantastisch klare und dreidimensionale Bild dieses Fernglases. Das Cassar hat einen M42 Anschluss, 12 stufenlos bedienbare Lamellen, die Schärfe ist voll aufgeblendet recht gut, nimmt aber bis Bl. 5.6 deutlich zu, wobei der Blaseneffekt abnimmt, aber bei Bl. 4.0 noch sehr ausgeprägt ist.
Steinheil Cassar, or what makes a bubble bokeh?
The so called "bubble bokeh" is a getting more and more common feature of especially vintage lenses. Leaders are so called triplets, that means lenses consisting of three single lenses in the interior like this Steinheil or the Meyer Optics Görlitz Tripoplan or Domiplan. The special bokeh arises through a chromatic overcorrection and mainly at the outer area of the lenses. For this reason, it is more pronounced when the lens is used wide open. The Munich company Steinheil once in the fifties and sixties was at eyelevel with companies like Zeiss or Leica and produced lenses for some full format cameras like Braun (Paxette etc.). I became aware of it when I bought a vintage binocular from this make and was astonished about the clear, sharp and 3 dimensional view through it. The Cassar has a M42 mount, 12 infinitely variable blades, the sharpness is good wide open but is getting better till stop 5.6 whereas the bubble bokeh effect is diminishing it is still pronounced at stop 4.0.

für die Gruppe Macro Mondays - Thema: Kupfer
Dies ist ein Miniaturkrug, den ich im Setzkasten meiner Mutter gefunden habe ... wir waren schon immer alle Sammler ;))
(3,7 cm breit inklusive der Henkel - die Öffnung ist 1,9 cm breit)
Aufgenommen nach einem heftigen Regenschauer im Garten ... Regen hatten wir am Wochenende ja fast in unerschöpflichem Ausmaß :)
Macro. The straw seems to "absorb" the bubble which is produced by this old lens. A minimalism experiment ... just for fun.

MOG Trioplan 100mm is one of those lenses that abundantly and easily produce bubbly bokeh. As almost all triplets. But even Trioplan could not produce bubbles out of thin air. Tiny points of light in the background are needed, and to make big bad bubbles they need to be far away from the subject. That is not an easy feat in the Montreal winter. Sun is scarce and there is almost nothing to be favourable background for Trioplan bokeh. A 1.1 meter MFD makes things harder.
Unless I put it on bellows or helicoid. I had excellent Topcon exacta bellows. Those screwdriver bits from camera reparation kit are a perfect source of light points and in the macro world far away from subject in background get completely different meaning.
I could get even closer but, then, the bubbly bokeh is all but lost. It becomes monotone and smooth. And, in terms of sharpness, Trioplan is far from a good macro performer.

Crazy Tuesday - theme of September 10, 2019 - Abstract / Abstracto
🎵 Soundtrack: Jonathan Jeremiah - Happiness 🎵
My muse left me sometime between August and September for an obviously extended vacation and time is currently scarce ... so I had to resort to use an archive photo ...
... deliberately and experimentally out of focus image of colourful game pieces (small marble-sized wooden balls lit only by candlelight) - the originally uploded photo you can see in the first comment ... I can remember that I had a lot of fun taking blurry images this evening :))
Happy Crazy Tuesday, everyone !!
I will be browsing later in the evening

.... bewusst und experimentell unscharfes (Ab-)Bild bunter Spielfiguren (Holzkugeln in der Größe von Murmeln, die nur mit Kerzenlicht beleuchtet wurden) - das ursprünglich hochgeladene Foto ist im ersten Kommentar zu sehen.
Zum Thema: Abstrakt (Crazy Tuesday)
... diesmal ein Archivfoto, da mich die Muse (und Zeit) gerade etwas in Stich lassen !
Einen schönen Dienstag euch allen !
(poem by A. A. Milne: www.goodreads.com)
Last sunday my hubby and I drove into the country to get some fresh air since I had been working from home and hence staying inside (as requested) for the most part of that week (now it's already end of week 2 of home office and self distancing).
Spring blossoms blown in the wind and with manual focus - so not completely sharp ... but I like the atmosphere !
Taken with my 'old' analogue Nikkor 50mm AI f/1.8 - wide open:
I finally got an adapter for my Pentax body! So I've got even one more Nifty Fifty, lol ... and was very surprised about the 'cheerful' bokeh character of this one : ))
As always these days: Please stay safe and healthy !!

Ein ziemlich windiger Sonntag - dazu ein manuelles Objektiv: Also nicht ganz scharf, diese Frühlingsblüten ... aber ich mag die Atmosphäre !
Aufgenommen mit meinem 'alten' analogen Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 - Offenblende:
Ich habe endlich einen Adapter für meinen Pentax-Body bekommen! Also habe ich noch ein 50mm mehr zum Spielen ... und war sehr überrascht über den 'fröhlichen' Bokeh-Charakter dieses Exemplars : ))
Wie immer in dieser besonderen Zeit:
Bitte bleibt gesund !
... sometimes I need this quirky and melancholic pop-dance-song on a Monday: 🎵 David Guetta featuring Sia - 'Flames' (with lyrics) 🎵
[The first time I noticed Sia was when I stumbled upon the electronic Pop-Jazz long-player of ZERO 7 'the garden' in 2006

Saint Petri Church in Malmö (Sweden)
I loved the alignment of candle lights along the centre aisle and had enough time to play with depth of field. In the end I prefered the photo with aperture f/1.6 (one stop down from wide open) ...
Wishing you a happy first week of September !! :)

Mir gefiel die Anordnung der Kerzen entlang des Mittelgangs und ich hatte genug Zeit, mit der Schärfentiefe zu spielen. Letztlich hat mir das Foto mit Blende 1,6 (eine Stufe abgeblendet) am besten gefallen
Ich wünsche euch einen schöne erste Woche im September !! :)

If you want to know a little bit more about me as a Photographer:
This bauble is a present that the teachers of my son (almost 7yo) gave to him some days ago! He was very happy and he put it on the Christmas tree as soon as he returned at home.
Me and my wife were very happy too! It is a wonderful present!!!
Therefore I choose to share this bauble for the theme of this week. I used my Diaplan (a lens that I love more and more).
I hope that you will like the result, my friends!
Have a great Friday and a Merry Christmas!!! ;-)
The woodlands are still a sea of Bluebells and Wood Anemones...but it won't be long until they leave us for another year. The scent is intoxicating in the Spring sunshine ❤️

Maybe the squirrels decided to leave this one lone sweet chestnut for another day....at least I think that's what it is!
Every time I think...no more...i see another tree hanging on in there and the temptation is too great. Shot with the Fuji XT1 and the trioplan 2.8 100mm.
False Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum ) is a widely distributed perennial plant that is native to North America and grows in woodland habitats. The fruits (berries) are green with dark red-purple spots when young, turning red when mature. The young shoots are considered to be edible.

The snowdrops are everywhere this year...so delicate and cheery ;-)) Shot once again with the Helios 44M.
Yesterday I found an old lens I once bought on the internet (Ebay I think), a Pentacon 50mm 1.8. I used it a few times but never serious. Yesterday I placed it in my bag and gave it a chance. So, this is the result, not the sharpest shot ever but I like the bubble bokeh.
This theme was very difficult!!! I am not an expert of this technique and I made a lot of tentatives before obtaining something acceptable. I used a long time exposure (by also employing an ND filter) and I stayed still for the first 1/2 - 2/3 of the time. I only moved the camera in the final part.
The final result reminded me a travel across dimensions (the distorted bubbles, the electricity...). But I wasn't able to anticipate the result. In any case, I enjoyed the whole process ("try and error" steps included) so much!!! :-)
Stay safe, dear friends, and have a nice and Happy CrAzY Tuesday!!! ;-)
The days are shortening and darkening but the colours are intensifying...I think this is natures way of compensating us ;-)) Another shot using the Helios 44M
A lot of nearly bubbling bokeh balls from an old Tamron 200mm f/3.5 Adapt-A-Matic — that's pre-Adaptall.
