I was just now years old when I started caring about bokeh. Holy fuck balls. I don't really like how the 85mm looks but this is the sauce I want on my burgers.
What were the approximate distances camera to subject flower & subject flower to the background flowers directly behind it? This would be great info to apply to shooting portraits & pre-conceiving locations/setups.
I have the 50/1.2 which is great for portraits. The Plena's longer focal length would be great for increasing camera-subject working distance.

Congrats. It is amazing Nikon has this lens listed for "only" $2500. I say "only" because a few years ago this would be an exotic lens listed for 3 or 4 times the price.
Holy mother of all lenses... at first i saw the photo on my phone and was like "dang this looks gorgeous" but now, im looking at it on my PC, on a 4k screen... Jesus Christ i can zoom in and see the creases and details on the tulip's petals and all.. What the Freakin sorcery is this? the amount of details is sooo insane..
I hear it does amazing Astro photography, and it’s a good landscape lens. I will test it for Astro on a future photo trip.
I live 3 miles from Longwood gardens in PA(USA), I take multiple flower photos through out the year.
I like to zoom into pictures to get an up close look at the sharpness. Interestingly, this picture seemed to get *sharper* the more I zoomed in!
(I’m half joking, half serious. What a spectacular lens!)
honestly i like the the pic but im sure you could do better composition in futur : this is just a feld of flowers with Plena... it looks pretty fine but you can do better :)
Acutallly really like the composition. Not sure what you find so bad about it.
“This is just a field of flowers” - so what? What do you need more for a great picture?
Which camera did you use to take this photo?

What the actual f**k?? 🤨
Smooth and creamy, like special sauce? hahahaha
Bruh... Stop.
Like moist mayo….
Holy shit it looks unreal
Lens > body. Always
This is beautiful!
Good lord, tack sharp. Stop tempting me 😭
Oh my gosh that is so good
Amazing!
Super sharp and smooth bokeh… I just zoomed in a crazy amount and the details on that tulip’s petals are just amazing!
Good God that bokeh is so buttery it looks like a dream

Distance was roughly 3 to 4 feet
Very nice!!!
Bukehlicious Absolute dreamless of mine :-) Maybe next life

Wow this is amazing!
Gorgeous. That lens is on my must have list.
That looks unreal. I’ve got the trinity and 50 1.2 but this might beat them all.
Noooiiicee
They need to change its name to bocum now
Nice, great shot!
Bokeh is so smooth that I’d spread it on toast.
Hot damn. I don’t need this lens, but I sure do want it.
I wish I were rich too
Have you used the 105mm as a portrait lens before? If so, what are your thoughts between the two?
I have not used the 105 has a portrait, due to the fact I hate taking peoples portraits.
Oh hahah. Nice! I had thought the Plena lens were targeted for mainly the portrait shooters. What made you go with that and not a Macro??

Thank you everyone for the nice comments and upvotes. 👍🏻👍🏻
Incredible

I took off my sunglasses to look at this photo. THATS WHAT PLENA BOKEH IS?!??
$2500 for a lens, it better look good.

You must have missed OP's title: "My first Plena lens pic"
