Yikes, Moose, you are the ultimate Bokeh critic! My only salvation was
your earlier statement
that basically no 50mm lenses ever have good Bokeh, so I guess your
sentiment that the Heliar's
Bokeh is OK is actually a pretty big compliment :-)
I am surprised you don't just shoot soft-focus lenses on large format.
At least then you can still
get some semblance of resolution (unlike the crappy, but smooth,
examples you posted of e.g. the Sima
soft focus lens on the OM-4).
Happy bokeh hunting!
