Don't know, much less care, about the impressions of the reviewers or "bokeh nuts". I am neither. I bought the camera in reliance upon what reviewers reported. They evidently did not use the camera the way I did. What I can relate from experience is that another photographer I know bought the Hexar when I did, and we compared notes. We both saw the same phenomena in the results. We both sold our Hexars. So much for theory and second hand experience. Joe Sobel
