I see you mainly judge bokeh by the amount of onion rings it has Guy. That\'s not my main criteria. I see a double lined nervous background a lot of the time with the ZM on any A7 camera. As if I\'m looking at it cross-eyed.
The FE 35/1.4 also somewhat has this wide open, but when you stop it down a littlebit it gets a lot better. Not so with the ZM (on an A7x sensor).
When I look at your horse test series it only gets confirmed. Bokeh is still nervous/double lined at f2. Especially at the edges.
Fred, thanks for the comparisons... but the (in my opinion) bad bokeh of the ZM really shows when things are only slightly out of focus. My 21 Loxia also has quite decent bokeh in the closeup range, but it also gets terrible (also double lined) when things are only slightly out of focus.
It\'s not my intention to spoil any parties. The reason why I looked at this lens so many times is because for some shots it looks really fantastic. I adore the colors and contrast. It\'s just that I\'m sensitive to things like cross-eyed bokeh if it doesn\'t clean up with stopping down slightly.
I also don\'t care about Leica Guy, but it\'s a pity to see such a nice lens being degraded by a Sony sensor.
Oh and Guy, if this lens remains in your setup until let\'s say the end of the year... it really is your holy grail.
