Your number 1 bokeh prime lens??

[wud]

Which lens do you love the most, when talking smoothly blurred out bokeh?

I thought for a while my Sigma 50mm 1.4 were my favorite, but actually the Nikon 105mm really, really does a wonderful job.

Cos I only have the Nikon 40mm 2.8 and the Nikon 50mm 1.8 primes, I mount the 50mm on for a great bokeh.

 

[Dave_W]

I am extremely pleased with the bokeh coming out of my 300mm

 

[Pretzel]

The only prime I have is the 50mm 1.8g, but I have NEVER been dissatisfied with the feel from that lens. Quite the amazing piece of glass for the price.

It all depends on the FL and distance to your subject. The 105mm f2.8 macro does indeed create great subject isolation and it is very sharp.

My three favorite bokeh machine lenses are my Sigma 85mm f1.4HSM, 70-200mm f2.8 and Zeiss 135mm f2 lens.

Zeiss 135mm


Sigma 85mm


70-200mm



Here is the 105mm VRI macro lens.

So you're going to start a thread about bokeh goodness, and not even going to post any shots? That's just wrong.:suspicion:

really love that hummingbird shot. Did you do much PP to bring out those beautiful rich colors of the flower?

Thank you. Just my typical PP which includes increasing black, contrast level, and slight adjustment of WB if necessary using CS5. Edit: The humming bird shot should not be included since it was taken with a zoom lens, but o well.

 

[Blacktop]

I'm glad you included it anyway.
