A few of the best Bokeh Lenses - Under 50mm - M42

This video takes a look at some of the best vintage under 50mm wide angle lens for producing great bokeh.

It is part of a series of videos covering under 50mm lenses, 50mm lenses, 55-58mm lenses and over 58mm lenses.

I found wide angle the hardest focal length to cover, and it's quite limited in scope - for two reasons:

1. Bokeh is not such a major consideration in wide angle compositions
2. In my experience, one lens stands head and shoulders above the rest, when it comes to ranking great bokeh.

So I've not included a discussion of some of the excellent wider angle lenses - that are occasionally capable of extremely quirky bokeh - but whose strengths lie elsewhere.

Please post any suggestions on alternative choices below.

My photos with all these (and other) lenses can be seen in albums here:
