Three more pictures to make a sort of photo essay. They are particularly bad, but illustrate the shallow dof of a 1.2 lens.

A group of us were smoking cigars at a local tap. I brought along a camera to play with smoke pictures and low light. All photos were taken with a Nikon FM2n and an AI'd 55mm f1.2 lens.

Note the very shallow dof in these. Focusing in the low light was also a challenge, and exposure could have been better.

The last one is me. I handed the camera, pre-focused to the other side of the table and leaned back in my seat. I think that it turned out better with me out of focus and the cigar in focus.
