Aidan Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Why the bokeh is not so appealing when I go beyond 5 meters (15 feet)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrorSvensson Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 THe nikkor 50mm 1.4 ais has problem with coma wide open so that is probably why you get the ugly bokeh lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Looks consistent with aberrations that are introduced from an additional diopter - in your case, the Range Finder when shooting far too wide on your taking lens. Pretty sure if you re-tested without Range Finder attached, you will not see the deformation in the Bokeh highlights. Or stopped taking lens down to a sensible level (at least a couple more stops) to regain sharpness. I always consider f4 to be the widest recommended aperture when using variable diopters, as ALL non doublet element diopters will introduce ugly distortion until stopped down on taking lenses , some more than others, usually effects more noticeable the larger the camera sensor you go.
