Maybe I’ll hold on the reveal till you give your preferences A lot of pain indeed.
Bokeh at 0.6 meters: 5, 4 (good), the rest pretty busy with no clear order
Bokeh/background at 1.2 meters: 5,1, the rest in no particular order
Flare: 4, 5, the rest in no particular order
Bokeh and transition at f2 at 10-12 feet: 1, 4, 5 are mostly smooth, the rest a little nervous but not a big difference overall
F8 with tree (focal point) 12 feet away: 1 and 3 with foreground in focus and background out of focus towards the corners. I prefer the others.
Transition Zone: 3 and 6 ahead, the rest in no particular order
For my preference I would probably weight the different scenes 1: 15%, 2: 45%, 3: 15%, 4: 5%, 5: 10%, 6: 10%
I hope the Sigma 2/35 comes out well, I just bought one yesterday on David's recommendation Well, based on one scene in which it did really well against bokeh famous competition, and my report about a few more! More testing to do, though it is super promising, modulo a little swirl and cats eyes in some scenes.
Maybe I didn‘t much convincing
