(were they painted on canvas?:) F 1.4 and be there! Erwin had hinted the Bokeh had too much tobacco sauce. This to me begs to differ. This is a fully balanced charming Bokeh of zest and piquancy all nicely balanced to bring out the full flavor of the meat and potatoes up front sharp entr?e sitting on the couch! French cooking Bokeh! Once again I don't think the use of one or two aspherics puts a curveball on smooth Bokeh from modern Leica glass. I think the Leica glass designers were in those issues from the very beginning and would not have let that happen. Oh by the way what's IN focus looks pretty ok too! :) And loved the shot of the boy in the dark living room with the blinds. Had real "authority" to it like someone hired some high priced photog to do it. Must have used the new Ralph Gibson plug in for Photoshop and not known it.
