Because bokeh is so subjective, I usually resort to services like Flickr to see how the lens draws, if I like it, then I'll search for reviews to find out if it's prone to issues, softness, haze, oil contamination, etc... _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

It's an impossible question to answer because bokeh appreciation is subjective. I'm not super-impressed by soap bubbles, except the very best examples. I prefer out-of-focus rendering that blends together with the appearance of matte-texture oil paint, so tend to like the bokeh I get from my old German primes.

I have to agree 100%
I find the bokeh of Toby's Leotax Leonon extremely distracting. It can be acceptable in some shots (the last two are better to my eye) but not something I'm going to like. With smoother bokeh I would have loved some of those shots.
Mirror lens bokeh is similar only ever reaching to the heights of not a detriment, and succeeding in ruining many other shots. - Not that it stops me playing with mirror lenses, their weight advantages are just to great.
I'm sure my own shaped bokeh shots are equally unsettling to some other photographers. |

Well, finally there are many types of bokeh (oil paintings,busy, donuts shape etc.) and of course , depending of the type of fotography , would suit more one or another. Would be nice to have a thread to identify the so many types of bokeh so the new users like me to get an idea of them, of course every type with it's own glass . I am amazed of the excellent pictures i see ,showing us differencies between bokeh,some of them are really art, at least to my eyes. |
