I can’t contribute anything to the discussion of bokeh, but using the above 
link I took a look at your website, Toine. I LOVE everything I saw. 

You have a collection called “favorites.” If I had a collection of photos like 
those on your site I would be hard-pressed to select any favorites. There’s so 
much that’s so good. 

One thing I especially liked, though far from the only thing. is the way you 
make striking images by focusing in on the fine details of a scene. 

You reminded me how much there is to see—if we look, and are able.

Igor,

Thanks for the references. I should be able to access the full text of
the DOI through my university account. Maybe I need to refresh my
physics and optics courses from 40 years ago :)

It's difficult to reproduce the 3d pop. I think foreground and
background should be blurred.

More on bokeh (Was: Re: PESO: 3D pop?)

2020-10-05 Thread Igor PDML-StR


Toine,

First, let me say that you've got a very nice image!

Paul has given a very simple explanation for the visual effect you (we) 
observe. The further difference is (as Paul and a few others pointed out) 
comes from the quality of the bokeh for the particular lens.


As you probably know, the lead (actually, lead oxide!) in the lens glass 
raises its refractive index. This allows for thinner lenses for a given 
focal length. However, glass with a higher refraction index has higher 
dispersion that needs to be corrected to make the lens achromatic (i.e. to 
minimize chromatic [and spherical] abberations).

So, the combination of these factors *can* affect the bokeh.

I've found this informative write-up on B website:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/tips-and-solutions/understanding-bokeh
It gives a nice overview of what and how plays a role in the bokeh - with 
some nice illustrations.

In particular, I didn't know that there are lenses with adjustable bokeh.

Now, I was curious about how much is known scientifically about bokeh.
It is clear that at least some lens manufacturers pay attention to it.

While I didn't do a deep comprehensive search in the scientific 
literature, it seems, - not much seems to be published on that topic.
I've been able to find a few research articles adressing the theory and 
theoretical calculation of the bokeh, but there are literally handful of 
those. (And there was some research on how to fake bokeh, - I assume aimed 
at creating "creative filters" for the phone-shooters.)


Of those, one paper I looked at was  Viktor P. Sivokon, Michael D. Thorpe
Optical Engineering, 53(6), 065103 (2014). 
https://doi.org/10.1117/1.OE.53.6.065103
(Sorry, it requires paid access. Feel free to contact me directly for 
detail.)

They were able to model bokeh mathematically (analytically) and compare
to the actual bokeh produced by lenses with a reasonable accuracy.
Here is one of their results:
http://42graphy.org/misc/BokehCalculated-SivokonThorpe.jpg

Cheers,

Igor

Re: PESO: 3D pop?

2020-09-29 Thread Bruce Walker
Mark, I bought an early Super-Multi-Coated Takumar version of that
lens. Mainly because they're the cheapest of that design used, and Rob
Studdard recommended it. (I watched eBay for a few weeks until I saw
one in good shape for under $400 US.)

I like how it performs and the images look. Very, very sharp indeed.
It's easy to manual focus with the really long throw it has. I haven't
pushed the backlit scenes so far, but in those few I have done I
haven't seen CA.

I think you'd find great results with your 67 glass, but of course
it'd be much the same shift for you as using 35mm glass on the crop
APS-C bodies.

I agree re creamy bokeh - if people are going to notice the bokeh you 
don't want them noticing the details of stuff in the bokeh...


Sounds like the 105mm f2.4 is doing well on you your 645Z. Sharp with 
minimal chromatic aberrations? An upgrade path to digital MF using my 
6x7 lenses is an option I've been trying to keep open, though I wonder 
how well they will perform. And in most cases I have the 
Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 6x7 lens, vs the later SMC 67 versions. On 
film I don't think the difference is huge, but on digital I'm not sure...

Lens design has a lot to do with how bokeh is rendered. I've been
shooting film almost exclusively this year, a lot with a Pentax 6x7 and
105mm f2.4. That lens  seems to have been designed to produce the most
beautiful creamy bokeh possible. I also use a Ricoh Diacord TLR, a 6x6
TLR with a f3.5 Tessar design lens.  The results are incredibly sharp
but you really can't get a smooth bokeh. Forms clump together and
highlights in particular render as circles with almost crisp
circumferences. Each lens has its own purpose. The Pentax lens lets you
easily isolate a subject against a soft background, giving the nice 3d
look. But the Diacord is almost magical in creating the appearance of
infinite depth of field, even when only stopped down to f8 or even f5.6.

I think one issue is that there is no real agreement about what makes
for a "good" bokeh. The lens in the Diacord seems to have pretty typical
Tessar type characteristics, including the "clumpy" bokeh. But a lot of
folks seem to like that - especially in the rendering of specular
highlights.  Others look for a creamy bokeh with everything running
together.

I like cream with my bokeh.

I've been using that 67 105mm f:2.4 with my 645Z and the results are
wonderful. It makes a terrific portrait short tele on the 645 format.

Lens design has a lot to do with how bokeh is rendered. I've been 
shooting film almost exclusively this year, a lot with a Pentax 6x7 and 
105mm f2.4. That lens  seems to have been designed to produce the most 
beautiful creamy bokeh possible. I also use a Ricoh Diacord TLR, a 6x6 
TLR with a f3.5 Tessar design lens.  The results are incredibly sharp 
but you really can't get a smooth bokeh. Forms clump together and 
highlights in particular render as circles with almost crisp 
circumferences. Each lens has its own purpose. The Pentax lens lets you 
easily isolate a subject against a soft background, giving the nice 3d 
look. But the Diacord is almost magical in creating the appearance of 
infinite depth of field, even when only stopped down to f8 or even f5.6.


I think one issue is that there is no real agreement about what makes 
for a "good" bokeh. The lens in the Diacord seems to have pretty typical 
Tessar type characteristics, including the "clumpy" bokeh. But a lot of 
folks seem to like that - especially in the rendering of specular 
highlights.  Others look for a creamy bokeh with everything running 
together.

What is seen as 3D “pop” is just limited depth of field. And because primes 
generally have a larger app wide open than zooms, they give you more control 
over DOF.

Re: PESO: 3D pop?

2020-09-27 Thread Stanley Halpin
Very nice. In your image I think the effect is helped by the light fall off 
from near to far and also the contrast of dark tree trunks near vs. the two 
lighter colored ones in a bit further. But the “look” of the lens is also there.

I’ve been using my DA*300 a lot lately, at first because I found that the SDM 
was not working, and then I got it to work but I read that a “cure” was to keep 
exercising the motor often and so I try to take it out for a few shots every 
day.  Through this process, I have been finding I quite like the look this lens 
produces!  I’ll need to look for a stand of trees like yours and see what I can 
do with such a scene.

I find myself lugging the DA*300 around on a daily basis. Maybe because it pops.

Do I need new glasses?

PESO: 3D pop?

I read a lot about primes vs zooms and old designs of primes. That
should result in something like 3D pop. Never noticed it until today:

Do I need new glasses?
