I have to admit that the subtleties of bokeh escape me. I can certainly see some of the grotesqueries of the bokeh from a mirror lens, but I am not really disturbed by the out of focus areas of this print. Certainly not horrible. I suppose that since sharpening works by increasing the contrast between adjacent pixels that a transition from a light area to a dark would be emphasized. The 1.2 does seem have a "look" to it that I have noticed in other images that is hard to pin down. If the subject is gloomy, it seems to emphasize it a bit.
