Ok, don't meen to play dueling-digitals here, but look at the
bokeh in the Thorny Locust picture on my home page:
http://www.iowatelecom.net/~image66/
The 2/3" sensor AND the zoom lens design conspire to give you
bokeh that isn't quite as sexy as that from a fixed focal-length
Zuiko.
For example, look at the "Old Comet" photo at the bottom of the
darkroom techniques page on my website. That's from a Zuiko
35/2.8. The digital scan doesn't even do it justice. The
chemical print make you almost want to weep as the blur
transition is absolutely borderless. Who says that wide-angles
can't bokeh?
But, back to the point. The lens on the A1 does bokeh
reasonably well considering. I seriously doubt that its
limitations are format size, but rather zoom-lens design. The
standard zoom lens coming with the E-1 exhibits similar traits.
Case in point--the Pentax 110 SLR from the late '70s had
amazingly good bokeh in the lens designs. Talk about a product
too good for the intended market (and film).
