i know it's not caturday but…
i took this with the spiratone portragon 100m f4, a bizarre and totally underrated little (as in very little) lens. it's so compact bc it's a single-element lens. basically a metal tube with 1 piece of glass at the end.

here's an example of the close focus helicoid adapter using the spiratone 20mm. 1: its closest focus possible normally. 2 + 3: using the helicoid.

here are some other wild bokeh lenses (with apertures) -
1. spiratone plura coat 20mm f2.8 close focusing lens
2. fujinon 55mm f1.8 - the f2.2 is even weirder
3. vivitar 28mm f1.9
4+5. wildcard: pentax auto 110 18mm, which IS aperture-free but covers aps-c
