Do you think we worry too much about spectacular highlights sometimes? I mean, how often is that an issue?
Apart from sometimes being a distraction it's also a good indicator of whether then lens will have poor bokeh. Double-lining "nisen" bokeh, which gives a vibrating effect, is due to the same reason as bright ring oof highlights. And that all contributes to busy bokeh, which for me is the issue. As a portraitist I hunt bokeh lenses so that the background looks natural and does not distract from my subjects. I agree that sometimes busy bokeh is nice, but for people portraits nothing, absolutely nothing must distract from the expression on that person's face and the atmosphere I am attempting to conjure.
