Pic "2711" demonstrates that the lens can produce very nice bokeh, if the background fits. The rest isn't about human portraits. The two pictures of the barn are F2 and F4.
Pic 2711 is very nice and a strong image to showcase the lens.
Thanks! Even though I was just out to test eye-af without paying much attention to composition etc. I also thought that to a certain extend it may show that 40mm are good for portrait as well and the Batis 40 can do the job. However, it's REALLY sharp. I've done slight retouching of the skin in this version here (using Color Efex), and still skin blemishes are easily detectable .
And eye-af hit in this one (the right eye isn't really sharp because it was f2 and I didn't notice it while shooting).
I'm glad that Fred will get a copy soon so we will get reliable information soon. Looking fowled to it!
P.S. Thanks for commenting back and clarifying things. I appreciate it.
