I have spent some time to read the whole article. Beside from easy and funny part there are lot of deep thoughts. I have read the MTF article in the past. Last night I spend few hour to read the bokeh article.
At the end of the day I understand how difficult is to design good photographic lens. /just a little bit :-)/. Actually the optical design is full with compromises. And that is not everything.
The optical design is small part of modern lens. Let’s say 35-40%, and then it comes to mechanical design, electronics and software. I realized that again a few weeks ago when I look how my brother disassembles, repair and assemble my Tokina lens.
The way of locking back from design to test phase is not easy either.
I like Zeiss article because they are trying to explain such deep things to broader group of people. Actually everybody finds own fun reading articles e.g. One find fun in 50/0.7 lens story another the history of planar design, another the technical/scientific part behind this design, another the advantagers and limitation of this design and how to use it in photography.
I’m going to read/ and understand / the ZEISS bokeh article next weekend.
Have a nice wekend,
Miro
