Ross of England is another name beloved of the bokeh community. Like Dallmeyer, they made lenses of many varieties for many purposes, and their short focal length, fast lenses fetch astronomical prices. This is a tiny lens, barely an inch long and with an even smaller diameter, but it almost covers the aps-c sensor, is very sharp in the center, with a pronounced swirl off axis. The look can become tiring quickly, but can sometimes be used to great effect.
