Another affordable lens design with lovely blur rendition, is the f/9 APO Nikkor copy lens, which comes in a variety of focal lengths. Needless to say, these lenses are also very sharp.

Here's a sample image made with a 360mm barrel version on 5x7, stopped down just a bit.

Very nice Ken.....you truly do magic with your lens. Furthermore, it also supports the hypothesis that it takes a master like you and Jim Galli to show how to make a lens blossom.
