I'm not skeptical. I'm curious. Dave ====================================================================== Dave, A few weeks ago, Doug Herr posted a link to the LEG of a picture with unpleasant bokeh. I don't remember exactly which URL it was but I think it was http://www.markcassino.com/0007/gallery1/0007nz04.htm or http://www.markcassino.com/0007/gallery2/0007ndx.htm In these pictures, the highlights in the out-of-focus water in the background have taken on a strange, doughnut-like appearance, similar to what is usually encountered with mirror lenses. In fairness, there are also plenty of examples of (to me) pleasant bokeh at the same site, which belongs to Mark Cassino, a talented nature photographer. See, for example, the following: http://www.markcassino.com/0007/gallery2/0007nz18.htm http://www.markcassino.com/0002/0002n14.htm I hope you enjoy looking at Mark's pictures.
