Buttercups and bubbles

By valo | Valo | 16 Sep 2022


Earlier this year when snow had just molten, I was walking past a small stream. It was too small to form rapids, but there was a widened area with some rocks to make the water hop around them.

Right by the spring, there were blooming buttercups. I aimed my camera equipped with Samyang 135mm f/2 and saw a magical background of bright bokeh circles. It was very beautiful but after taking a few photos, I immediately put my backpack on the background and started looking for a lens with a character of its own.

Back then, I didn't own a Trioplan but I was carrying another creation by Meyer-Optik Görlitz, the Telemegor 180mm f/5.5. My unit is damaged and the aperture doesn't close - but who would do that with this lens?

Some of you might know what Telemegor is famous for - the bubble bokeh. To enhance the effect and to be able actually to focus close, I put an extension tube. Below are some examples.

First, photos from the Samyang.

And now follows the Telemegor.

Which lens did better in your opinion?
