Thanks for that, Markus. I already thought I was the only one upset by such statements... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I second that. What it proves is just that half of bokeh's appeal is personal perception - that's why there are those beliefs about the "special character" of Zeiss / Leica / Canon / insert your favourite here / etc lenses that non believers simply don't get.



I've seen examples where underdogs clearly outperformed so called "bokeh kings" in some situations, so what? Some lenses show butter smooth transitions but fail miserably on highlights (onion look), etc.



Also I find the usage of blanket statements funny as well. I can generate some as well: Nikon generally has better ergonomics than Canon. White lenses generally look ugly. Oranges generally taste better than apples. Here.
