Fujian 25mm f/1.4 C-Mount Lens - Bokeh Addiction Is a Disease; This Lens Is the Cure

Bokeh is my drug. I love it. I need it. I want more of it.

Although a lottery winner could just walk into any Leica store, pick up a few Noctilux lenses and be done with it all, such course of action off the table for people who work day jobs for a living. So, for me, the name of the game is all about getting bokeh on the cheap.

Contrary to popular belief, cheap bokeh isn't an unicorn; it actually exists in real life. Simply graft a vintage large aperture prime lens onto any modern mirrorless camera, and VOILA, instant cheap bokeh. I have no less than three old Pentax primes in my possession, and they've all given me lots of bokeh love over the years.
