Here's my thought on current M lens bokeh. The following are roughly
equivalent in my book:
50 Summicron - beautiful, smooth, a bit creamy
Noctilux - same but perhaps a bit creamier
75 Summilux - smooth, rich, but no cream
90 Elmarit - same
Why? I have no idea. Is it a question of glass? Non-asphericity? ('Twould
be interesting to have a bokeh comparison between the current and ASPH
Noctili.) Whatever the case may be, I find the above all superior in bokeh
to the 35 Summicron ASPH and the 24 Elmarit. The all time bokeh winner in
my book is the Summarit, which I have in LTM. Ooooooooooh!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! Smooooooooooth! (Almost wet my pants.)
Just my point zero two.
