Blue Flax-MR58 Shootout

            "58mmShootOut" 

Another scene that I shot with each lens. Here I was really hoping to see the swirl that some of these lenses can create. 

In this case I was having a hard time with the wind blowing these flowers around quite a bit. And the Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58 was the last lens I shot and by the time I got to this scene the wind speed had picked up quite a bit, so I had to wait and shoot, wait and shoot as the wind died down enough to get a good shot off. So that factor needs to be considered with all these shots when considering sharpness. I believe all of these lenses to be rather sharp in their own rights. Maybe some more so than others but still, in the right conditions and as long as you nail the focus on a fair shallow DoF, the lens will perform.

In this case, The Minolta MC Rokkor 58 did wonderfully I think. Here I shot it at f2 and it got the shot once the wind died enough to even try a shot. The focus ring turns smoothly and focusing is fast with a nice dampened feel. And that's what I needed to get this shot. These flowers dance all around and when they settle, you need to be able to get to the focus quickly. 
I feel like this is a great rendering of the bokeh this lens produces. Sort of muted and not too crazy only slightly "nervous." It has some fun things going on, but its fairly smooth and predictable.
