I’m going to be needing out of focus (OOF) point spread functions (PSFs) from various lenses for my bokeh simulator project. Here’s how to capture them, for which I am indebted to Professor Hank on DPR. All credit to him. You’ll need a dark room — thankfully, not a darkroom, just a room that’s dark…. [Read More]

Simulating Zeiss & Nikon 135 bokeh with real and idealized PSFs
This is the third in a series of posts about building a bokeh simulator. This series starts here. I took the out of focus (OOF) point spread functions (PSFs) from the 135 mm f/2 DC Nikkor and the 135 mm f/2 Zeiss Apo-Sonnar ZF.2, and put them into the simulator. You will note that the… [Read More]
Simulating Sony 135 STF bokeh with real and idealized PSFs
This is the second in a series of posts about building a bokeh simulator. This series starts here. Yesterday I did some bokeh simulations of an apodized and conventional lens using calculated point spread functions (PSFs). Today, I want to look at real PSFs. I realized that I had some of those, generated which I… [Read More]
