John A Prosper asked this (and has been answered, so I won't repeat it here).

Which brings me to another question:
As this lens is so good why do people suggest that 8 or 9 blades are
preferred? The Zuiko 100 f/2.8 also has only 6 blades but also has good
performance (including bokeh). Is the "more blades=better" a myth? There is
likely to be some improvement but I suspect it is not as important as some
people maintain. Those of you with 9-blade lenses please don't feel too bad
about it ;-)
