The 2/50 Summar has a very nice & pleasant bokeh [, and the 1.9/73 Hektor also] - as long as you don't use those lenses in bright sunshine, or above f 4.5 (you don't have bokeh anymore at f9 or above). I can confirm the fine 2/50 Summitar bokeh, and I definitely like the bokeh of the yellow glass Summicron also. Alf
