Riconar/Rikenon 55/2.2: My experience [2/2]

(see part 1)

Background blur with the Riconar/Rikenon 55/2.2 at f/2.2 depends on the scene. It can be quite smooth.



But usually the background blur is busy.



But without obvious soap bubbles (unlike a triplet).




At short focusing distances soft focus appears stronger.



So much so that [manual] focusing becomes very difficult.



For this reason, the minimum focusing distance is around 80cm. That is a lot for a 55mm lens.



This lens is definitely different from the typical 50-55mm lenses of the film era.
