How about a double blur? Background blur and motion blur from panning. ![]() |

JayT, the Pentax SMC FA*80-200/2.8, and its shorter sibling, are good examples of lenses loved by many and at the same time leaving others, like me, cold. |

I think it's mostly about the relative subject to background distance, lens quality is a close second. |

You can't forget the Noctilux, king of Bokeh ![]() ![]() Close up using an extension tube. I think it may have been f1.2.

Zeiss 35 f1.4 at f2. Most people won't like the octagonal highlights, but it doesn't bother me at all, because the bokeh still manages to be alluring and the lens has a strong 3D feel: ![]() Another example of 35 f1.4 bokeh, probably at f2.8: ![]() |

BTW - I see no problem with a few examples of Canon/Nikon bokeh here. One of the reasons for using alt gear is because some of it supposedly does things that Canon/Nikon gear and lenses doesn't. For the sake of objectivity it's important that those lenses are represented here, otherwise this thread will be a less useful resource. How else can we make the comparison? ![]() Oly 40 f2: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Zeiss N24-85: ![]() Leica 180 f2: ![]() |

Brainiac; I posted some unprocessed Leica images for you in the very first reply at page 1. I think it was in the Siggy50 thread you commented on the Leica bokeh to be too soft, or too little edgy. Do the posted samples make you happier? |

This is from the Zeiss N 100mm f2.8 Marko Sonnar. It reverses what you would normally or conventionally choose to have in focus and what you would have out of focus. ![]() |

From all the samples it seems 135mm and anything goes. |

What about these? Is this a good bokeh? |
