Do you know how much consternation that has caused me? I now have a shelf housing McCallans, Knockando, Lagavulin and Talisker- and my poor wife thinks I have become a rummy! Each has a personality that suits a specific mood, and each makes you see bokeh in a different light, pardon the quip. I guess that's why single malts intrigue Leicaphiles- the Knockando has a sharp sweet taste, like a Summicron 50 it is very well defined; The Lagavulin is like the Noctilux- complex, heavy but like nothing else. The McCallans, well the 12 I have I suppose is like the 35 Summicron, broad and encompassing, sharp but with a nice finish- I would suppose the 18 and 25 would be like the 35 Summilux and 35 ASH in turn, improvements, but more costly! Geez Louise! Now is ain't just cameras! :o}~ Dan - -" Lord, have mercy upon us, 'cuz we been drinkin' whisky fer breakfast!" - ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Grant <tedgrant@islandnet.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, August 29, 1999 2:45 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] I'VE SEEN THE BOKEH!!!! > A couple of the lads wrote: > > >> An observation though--has anyone else noticed pleasant bokeh is a bit > >similar to the fingering of good wine in a good wine glass?>>>>>> > >> Dave Yoder > > >Bokeh does improve when viewed after a good glass of wine.
