And I pointed out that it's not always that simple. If the less obtrusive sharpness is due, among other things, to a glow—that is, the overexposure of bright areas into dark ones—it becomes more complicated. And that answers your question in the original post: raminolta wrote:
Am I the only one who finds it weird to consider a lens less suitable for portraits because it is sharp?!!!!
The comparison image wasn't meant to be "pretty," but rather to illustrate the effect I'm referring to. Personally, I'd probably prefer the GM for technical subjects. For portraits, however, I'd definitely choose the Nokton if autofocus isn't necessary. My point was simply to show that it's easy to say you can easily simulate a blurrier image with a sharper lens, but in practice, I think it might be different.
