The next hipster lens ... - Klaus - 08-16-2017 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/315452809/the-rising-all-star-team-returns-legendary-biotar The next hipster lens ... - davidmanze - 08-16-2017 Ah another Kickstart.. I think the original looks way better....I can't find the actual price, but it's obviously not cheap! Why not go for the Helios 40 85mm F1.5?.....new they are going for around $400 some at $305..... ..if swirly bokeh is your bag it's a no brainer.......and it's built like the T34! https://www.ebay.fr/sch/i.html?_sop=2&_nkw=helios+85mm+f1.5&_frs=1 The next hipster lens ... - Klaus - 08-16-2017 I'm wondering what people like in these swirly bokehs - to me this just looks distracting. It may be nice as a "novelty" for a few shots but - been there done that - it surely wears off very soon. At least in my book.

Exactly! it also encourages the bad habit of putting heads/faces in the center of the image, as per several of the images shown. |
