A funny little discovery I made about the definition of "Bokeh" - I noticed it while reading the Zeiss Makro Planar 100/2 review by Markus. If I'm lucky, I might be getting this lens tomorrow! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

From the review:
"The bokeh (the quality of the out-of-focus blur) is a primary aspect for an ultra large aperture lens and the 100mm f/2 does not disappoint us here - mostly. The blur is very smooth and buttery."
As we see above, the words "bokeh" and "blur" are used interchangeably. In this case the quality of the blur/bokeh is "smooth and buttery" (it also means that "bokeh" alone does not describe the quality, it needs additional adjectives).
Anyway, smooth and buttery sounds good to me. If anyone is still reading this, Monochrom in Berlin (www.monochrom.de) are doing a special offer on Zeiss ZE/ZF lenses until tomorrow night - the 100/2 is 250 euros cheaper than normal.
