Thank you R.Young. You're right, the image looked flat. I followed your suggestions and it looks more interesting but without being too cartoonish. Thanks again!
well, 50/1.4 wide open. not exactly the medium format look though. the only equivalent lens i've shot that does better in that regard though is the sigma (i'm pretty sure the lux asph does too...). the bench one is made worse by background stretching to correct perspective distortion over the stitch.

It looks like heat haze, as if the boke solidifies at 10m.
it's very distinctive. i'm actually quite fond of it for out of focus trees against a white sky (always a torture test). the rokkor 28/2 and 58/1.2 perform similarly in such situations (28 a little funkier, 58 a little less funky but same look).
Sebboh, great examples, thanks. The first shot is incredible!
I may have to take more test/learning shots with stationary subjects as it’s easier to control environmental challenges.
One from this afternoon. The background is way too busy, but at this point it’s a lesser concern for me. On a positive side, full size images show incredible amount of details. http://www.kozera.ca/photos/images/_D8E1626_1600.jpg
Welcome to the community of fans of the medium format
I have long been thought to learn this technique of photography, but somehow ended before it began... But under the pressure of this too seems going anywhere and something photograph
^^That's a cool image. The DOF is funky, making it almost feel like a model. It does look like you have a stitching error on the two trees on the right side, though.
Edit: erased my dope comment since I can't see things, apparently.
Since everyone's posting large images of bokeh panos, I guess I'll post two I did last year.
I have posted this image a few times here before, so I'm sure most of you have seen it, but here it is a bit bigger. This is 64 images with the Rokinon 85/1.4 on the Panasonic GH2.
