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.
