In my experience bokeh is not all related to number of blades, the Zuiko
50/1.4 is better than the Zuiko 1.2, I think they have the same number of
blade. The 35-70/3.6 is also better than the 1.2. On the other hand marco is
usually poor in bokeh, the 90/2 is exceptional and I don't think the 50/3.5
is bad either while the AF 50/2.8 is really bad.
