I however don't quite understand the term beautiful bokeh. I think there is only bad bokeh and it exists in those shots where it bothers you. In photo's with out of focus blur, where it doesn't bother me, I don't go and look for the 'beautiful rendition of out of focus areas'. Color rendition is and other matter though, but prints made by a good minilab on 4x6 of a leica are still beautiful. However I do doubt if you can distinguish those shot with leica from those shot with other good optics. Bas > > > I'm keeping mine.
