Spring Energy by Voigtlander 90mm f3.5 macro


I have been hearing a lot of people disliking voigtlander fast primes for one big reason: Bokeh tend to 'clump' together with dense crayon colour.
In fact, many of the criticism were pretty much personal reasons. Bokeh, though, employs pretty much subjective aesthetic criteria, there is a general consensus regarding a good pleasing bokeh.
Harsh edge and imperfect circle of specular highlights are the bigest no no.
This one did not fail the test too badly :)

I think you nailed it there when it comes to the part of it being subjective. Sometimes more harch edges might suite a photo. Sometimes not. This time the crayon like effect actually helps this photo making it different from what I usually see.

Good capture!

This shot shows the subject emphasis and composition wise I think all goes well.

As long as my eyes feel comfortable with it, who care about all the technical things.

I'm loving it, James. The lens manages to make the foreground "pop" out more. Also.. lovely processing.
