Charles, great shots, but I think I preferred the B/W versions you posted earlier.

These last shots don\'t show what I\'m talking about much, if at all only the first one a tiny bit. So it really just comes and goes, must be focus distance or perhaps subject dependent.
Also, I agree that even with the busiest of lenses in the ZE line, the bokeh isn\'t jarring, it\'s still very pleasant. The 50/2 ZM so far seems close to the ZEs in rendering though.
When the focus plane is further away the bokeh blobs become smaller while the edge doesn\'t shrink as much. So it becomes quite busy - especially after you sharpen the image. The 50 Sonnar is not like that nor is the 25/2.8 which has a very smooth bokeh. The 50 Sonnar bokeh suffers from heavy spherical aberrations wide open which produces fairly poor bokeh at MFD. At medium distances it is OK though.
