Accurate focusing in probable low light might be another problem your depth of field would be about the width of a human nose hair! The question is… which nose hair am i going to focus ON!!??? The other hairs exibiting classic nose hair bokeh! (notice how each nose hair has its own artifacts! THAT'S GOOD LENS DESIGN!) A classic low light macro bokeh problem! Thank god for those nose hairs they are indispensable focusing aids!
