Restraint with equipment

Fun with reflex lens

The fondness for the weird boken from reflex lenes is purely individual taste, but I think it won't hurt  if we put the boken as the "focus" of a picture once in a while.  This is such an ordinary picture otherwise if not for the weird boken (though it is still an ordinary picture). 
Photography is so equipment centric, sometimes the gear determines the outcome, as in this picture. The refelx lens is currently the fad in the far east, it is literally sold out, and second hand items are hard to come by if not priced unreasonably.  The most sought-after is the Minolta 250mm, and since the major camps are the Canikon, it would mean extra conversion required, and painstaking manual focusing with the small aperture and shallow depth of field.
