What else is new? :) > > http://pubpages.unh.edu/~amm4/bokeh.html Okay, here's an example of the 35/1.4 ASPH being, to my eye, a little unpleasing: http://people.oven.com/jbm/temp-displays/bokeh/c3990719-28a%5bwhitpit%5d1410.jpeg Look at the bookshelves in the background -- kinda jangly. Even the curved lamp stalk in the foreground at the upper left: not entirely pleasing. But still, what's by far my most-used 35mm lens? That one.
