Inspector’s condition notes

The lens is in good condition. It's another lens that produces beautiful portraits. For Fuji Nex and Olympus, it has been modified to fit Canon EOS without needing an adapter. Easy to shoot, flattering on the face, with smooth background separation and a painterly color rendition in the bokeh. Octagonal bokeh. The optical elements are in perfect condition with no scratches. The focus and aperture rings turn smoothly, like a new lens. The internal components feel solid, with no rattling or movement inside. The exterior of the lens body shows normal signs of use, with the usual visible scratches and minor paint loss that you'd expect to find on a lens of this age.

How this lens renders

Compared to other lenses sharing the same 58mm specs, this one is the "King of Bokeh" from 1966. Its standout quality is the soft, gentle character when shot wide open. At f/1.4, sharpness is still soft and dreamy, contrast is low, and the image has a film-like gentle tonality — ideal for dreamy portrait work. Stopping down to f/2, sharpness jumps up noticeably and ramps up to tack-sharp through the f/8 range. The bokeh melts the background beautifully, living up to its name, with a dimensionality you simply won't find in modern lenses. Vignetting sits around 1.5EV wide open, making it a useful tool for shaping the mood of an image (drops to nearly half at f/2 and is essentially gone from f/2.8 onward). This lens is for someone seeking character, not someone after clinical sharpness. A vintage lens well worth collecting.
