Tim, a couple (actually, three) questions:
I had a walk in the mountains with my new lens combo. There I found this,
"a Troll", they are rare. The name of this one is "Naustdalstrollet".

1. Just what is the "troll" creature? (I'm assuming that it's some kind
of brown-furred animal, but, beyond that, I can't "get a fix" on exactly
what I am looking at.)
Looks like it was all made of natural vegetation materials. Probably
living mosses, and such.
The picture is shot with *ist Ds at f:5,6, 1/250, at about 100mm x 1,7.
Haven't got a lens hood yet, but I don't really find much flare. The
bokeh is very present, but I like it very much.
2. The bokeh is indeed "very present", but is (to me) a bit puzzling.
Looking at the background at the left center, the doughnut-shaped bokeh
reminds me of a mirror lens photo.
3. Which VS1 70-210 version is the lens?
From the site: "Vivitar Series 1 70-210/2,8-4 ver. 3."
