You know that effect of darker edges or corners of the photograph? Usually quite easy to achieve in any editing program or with some quick filter.

But there are lenses that do that on their own :)
Such as the Biotar 50mm f1.4 here. I did show photographs taken with it multiple times, but most I was focusing on the bokeh as it is pretty amazing here too. For that I was also cropping the images to keep the part I wanted and obviously, the vignette effect was gone.

Not this time.
I didn't crop any of the photographs here, as I would lose what I am trying to show you. This is how the photographs were taken with just slight adjustments in photoshop.

Of course please do admire the bokeh, but check the edges too.

See the darker edges?
On the parts where are shadows it is not really visible, but on lighter photos you can spot it. I did not add it. The lens did.

It shows more when the lens is set to f1.4 and gradually disappears when it the number is higher.
I don't have the Exif data on that so cannot tell how each photo was shot which is a pity. Would be nice to compare.

You will see it better here 👇. I know the image is shit, but it shows the vignette effect the best.

I heard two theories why this happens:
One is that the sensor in a camera is bigger than the lens.
The second is that the lens is old and was made for full frame film cameras so the sensor size doesn't matter - its just something the lens does.

I'm no expert, I just take photos (and learn as it goes) so I will not tell you which one is more correct. I like the effect (and the lens) either way.

Even if this is technically a flaw, I just love this lens! It is wonderful but you already know that :)

Awesome results. Some of my old, cheap film cameras with cheap/simple lenses have a similar effect, whether I want it or not!

I need to get a fast lens again now. I have to say the swirl on these seems as impressive as the Helios.

I don't think you understand.
The stories and updates you share are not originally written by you. You share what others wrote/created and it doesn't matter if you posted it on your Instagram first or any other page. It is still not yours. Why should you be payed for something others created?

👍It turned out very cool

These photos are a kind of magic ... ;)

I'm amazed at your understanding of #photography, you create such a simple shot but look so luxurious.
Yes, maybe that's because it depends on the lens, but determining the position of the lens is very influential, the rest is just adjustments to the color contrast in editing.
I learned a lot from the way you aim at objects, thanks @ewkaw.

very nice bokeh lens indeed :) the vignet might be less visible on a camera with an aps-c sensor , but it does have a very lovely swirl
