Amazing that the new CV 40 Nokton has made it to the "bad bokeh" list in 
just a few months after it's release. Amazing because this attribution came 
from a few members of internet forums looked at scans of a few scanned 
pictures from a Japanese magazine & labeled its bokeh as "harsh" or "edgy." 
Copycats then repeated this characterization. Amazing further because actual 
users of this lens really like it & disagree with this characterization of 
its bokeh. Now it's preserved in time on a web page - along with ratings of 
other lenses, also evaluated subjectively but treated as these ratings 
actually have some meaning. Go figure.
