What is the effect toward the bottom that looks like a line of circles?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That's not a deliberate effect. This is just how the Reflex Nikkor 500/8 renders bokeh. The mirror inside the lens is essentially doughnut shaped and reflects the image back into itself. So technically speaking, there is a massive gaping hole in the middle of the lens. This is why you see the ring effect in the out-of-focus blur.

Edit: Corrected a Typo.

Here's an even better example of it https://p.drkt.eu/2016/14066309_2094513670774721_6947703752195226600_o.jpg

Buttery smooth. I reckon yours is the 1000/11?

Na, it was just some off-brand 60 euro thing I got off amazon. I got rid of it long ago
