Very fun comparison! Just enough to see that there are differences, but not so dry that I stop caring.

The shape of the bokeh balls from the Mitakon is interesting.

Did you find it difficult to focus the Fuji wide open when the subject is that close?

I don`t think Mitakon bokeh shape is really that much different than Sigma, just that framing doesn`t really do it any favors here. Looking at the very first post of the thread, small green and orange LED lights bokeh balls seem similarly "cat`s eye" oval shaped for both lenses, being in a more similar position in the scene.

And focusing seems pretty easy with Mitakon (and it`s my first manual lens, even), where Fuji`s both focus peaking and dual display mode help a lot. Though obtaining focus at such shallow depth of field is one thing, while actually taking the shot in focus could be a different matter, especially if target is not really static. I`ve written about it in more details here.

Thanks for looking!
