The sensational responses toward "bo-ke" are intriguing. It is nothing
special in the photographic community in Japan, just one of the aspects we
talk of a lens: resolution, contrast, etc. It is also an interesting fact
that camera/lens reviewers for Japanese photo journals often ridicule
themselves and say, "We are the only species on the earth that are so much
concerned about bo-ke."
