Moose,
Is this image, using the ZD 14-54 at 54mm and f/4, similar to what you are
striving for?

Yes, that's pretty good bokeh by my standards!
Before you get too excited about that lens as a, as AG puts it, "bokeh monster", you should know that bokeh varies with
both subject and background distances and, in zooms, with focal length.
Take a shot of something, then move closer or further away, with the same background at the same distance, and the bokeh
is often different, sometimes a lot different.
AG and I have kicked this around many times, with various others occasionally chiming in, and I believe the above is
accurate as a generalization.
There have been quite a few lenses touted here as having great bokeh. Often, my own experience with the same lens is
different.
And my idea of great bokeh isn't everyone's. :-)
