I took this with a new vintage lens I picked up with a crazy shallow depth of field.

This mini is standing on a small box on my desk a few inches in front of my keyboard and the only thing that discernible from the keyboard is some of the glow from the keys.

Edit: The mini is primed and dry brushed, I don't think I'll paint this guy further so I'll have to print another one for actually painting further than this.

With the price of energy just now, I'd be glad for a lump of coal for Christmas

What kinda lens is that papi?

A Linos 50mm TV - Heligon lens. The math checks out to it having an aperture of roughly f/0.9. Unfortunately I had to just check with math as the lens doesn't mention anywhere on it what the aperture actually is.

I used my Lumix G9 to take the picture.

The color fringing on parts of the mini are from the chromatic aberration from the lens.

Jesus that’s a nice lens

Thank you, it's definitely been fun to faff about with that's for sure

I'm currently working on trying to adapt it a bit better to my camera so I can focus a bit further out but right now it's just a banger of a macro lens
