Hi Stuart,

It was the current 50mm Voigtlander Nokton. The images were sharp 
enough, but the bokeh (out-of-focus rendition) was extremely harsh and 
ugly. I know that there is controversy about this concept and do not 
wish to start another long thread about it, but for me bokeh does play a 
part in lens evaluation. So I sold the Nokton and got a Summilux instead.

With a 21mm lens the bokeh is irrelevant, since nothing is really out of 
focus anyway.

Nathan
