Shhesh,
The lens isn't noted for crummy bokeh. Jane Bown used it at F2.8 for 
her Queen portraits. I thought the 100/2.8 was in general a tad sharper 
but Moose corrected my incorrect general impression. I wonder what 
aperture was used by Chris. Perhaps the 100 F2 is the bokeh king for 
portraits?

Yeah, the bokeh sucks, and surprisingly, the lens is a Zuiko 85mm f2. I
bought the lens in Santa Fe because I got it for $50 and it looks nice, 
near
perfect condition. It is a newer black-nose MC lens. I've always wanted 
to
try the older silvernose version for comparison, since the optical 
formula
changed on it over the years.
