Reputation and Performance
The lens earned its "bokeh monster" nickname due to the quality of its out-of-focus areas, or bokeh.
Smooth Bokeh: The primary appeal of the 15-blade version is that its diaphragm remains nearly circular even when stopped down, resulting in exceptionally smooth, creamy, and round background highlights (bokeh balls). The 6-blade versions produce hexagonal shapes when stopped down, a less desirable effect for those seeking the "monster" bokeh.
Image Quality: Reviewers note that the lens is respectably sharp, especially from f/5.6 onwards, and delivers good color rendition. It is often described as sharp enough at its maximum aperture of f/2.8 for portraits.
Character and Flaws: The lens is appreciated for its distinct "vintage feel" and character. Common issues include strong color fringing and chromatic aberration in high-contrast lighting situations, as well as susceptibility to flare, which can often be corrected in post-processing. The long focus throw allows for precise manual focus but can make focusing on moving subjects difficult.
Adaptability: It uses the universal M42 screw mount, making it easily adaptable to most modern digital mirrorless cameras using inexpensive adapters, though adapters for Nikon DSLRs may require corrective optics to achieve infinity focus.
