: Bokeh Getting Restless
: Ed Wenn April 13, 2012, 10:25:42 AM

Yeah.....I have no idea what it means either, but I saw this gem on a website this morning and thought I'd share:

"Fully open, the bokeh is sometimes rather restless (http://galactinus.net/vilva/retro/eos350d_aviar_f45.html)"

I reckon it's a very poor attempt at a euphemism  :-\ He needs to pop the kit lens back on, that'll cure it and then he can send the lens to someone here who will attach it to a nice film camera.

I may need a cup of tea and a good lie down after that. :o :o

I think he meant distracting.  ;D

Maybe he invented Bokeh animation.............. I have no idea.

But he does have a nice collection of older lenses that I for sure would like to put on my Nikon!

I know Veijo from the Manual Focus Forum and he's very knowledgeable on old glass and widely known to stick old lenses on anything to create an image

Well, he certainly puts together a comprehensive page on each of the lenses he tries out. Good for him. Maybe he'd like to buy the Cooke Aviar that I'm selling somewhere online (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330715947351?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649)  ;) ;) ;) (shhh)

That phrase he used is pretty weird though!

Oh my God Gregor... I don't think I've ever seen anything like it :o I could get tetanus just by using it!!

Both if those ideas are kinda wicked.

Gregor with some paint and a little makeover it might go as a Leica M9 on ebay? :P
