I've seen it elsewhere.  But when I asked why the ASPH lenses have a 
reputation for 'harsh bokeh' and which lenses specifically, no one could 
give any.  I only have the 50/1.4 and 28/2, and both for the most part are 
pretty smooth to me.  The 50/1.4 is much more so than it's predecessor in my 
mind.

So which Leica ASPH lenses have 'harsh' bokeh?  Particularly when compared 
to their pre-ASPH ancestors.
