What makes a Picket Fence? The Slats or the Spaces? BOTH
I'm no Bokeh expert or dilitante BUT I would imagine that your friend in his
or her day to day work at a newspaper strive to get the sharpest images
possible and he/she and their editors DONT want the reader looking at the
blurred portion of the picture. We should not expect this person to know or
care about Bokeh.

Subject: [Leica] Bokeh (sp?) rant - hot to handle!
Hi all-
I have a photo friend here who is a Nikon Freak (OK - he's a great
photographer and is one of the best in Boston major newspaper shooters) He
asked me what's all this 'Bokeh"'stuff? I explained that as best I could -
his response (ALWAYS cynical about Leica) was " Yeah, you Leica Nuts WOULD
buy $2500 lenses on how great they show something out of focus!! - I have a
$2.99 magnifyng glass that's super at that!" ---- I happen to think 'Bokeh'
is important! I show him pics and all - but no go. What's the 'bokeh
cognoscente think??
