>>3957918I don't like this take because it's basically saying “you can't quantify or even describe it; if you can't see it, then you don't have the eyes for it” exactly like some Emperor's New Clothes audiophile. If you can't describe it, then just say so. There's no reason to invent things that don't exist to create a faux-elitism thing.
>>3957915Some kind of combination of harsher or more defined bokeh, lower contrast and spherical aberration for me. Flaws that exist because of the human flaws in the hand-made optical formulas.
Sorry for the shitty pic but I just needed one that shows what I'm describing. Shot on a 1950s commie lens.
