So you think I have too many lenses near the same focal length

I took seven 50 something mm lenses & shot the same frame with each this morning in order to compare the results. If you are interested, you may view the results @ the link below as my Photobucket account is nearly full for the month.

the bokeh of the Takumar 55/1.8 look smoother than the other one

Yes Ron, you have too many lol.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's interesting how differently these lenses render out of focus areas - the sharp edges in the bokeh of the Minolta Celtic 50/3.5 macroare worlds apart from the Takumar 55/1.8. Pretty cool.

Other than bokeh & edge/corner sharpness I see very little difference between them. If I were to sell the "extras" I wound keep the Macro for Macro work, the Minolta 50/1.4 & the Helios 58/2.
