Is there a good test to determine the quality of a lens' bokeh? Gary's
tests are quite helpful in determining sharp lenses, but what about the
bokeh?
I have been immensely satisfied with the bokeh from the 85/2, but less so
with the 28/2. is there any source that describes the different lenses in
these terms? What are the terms to describe bokeh (Double-line, etc.)?
Interesting!
I'd never thought to even *care* about the bokeh of my 28/2.0 Zuiko -- I'm
forever using it in situations where I can take advantage of its tremendous
depth-of-field, so virtually everything in the picture's in focus.
See, ferinstance, http://www.telusplanet.net/~garth/whitesands01.jpg
I've never actually seen descriptive adjectives attached to the term
'bokeh,' but then, most people don't accuse me of being the most attentive
person they know... ;-) I have a technical article about 'bokeh' if you
want (it's in .PDF format, and has made the rounds before).
