Thanks for the review........
The face on your bokeh sample is quite soft......
Cute little lens but for me it's hard to see a F/3.5 DOF being called a portrait lens.

well - pulling sibbi's face apart - on the samples page 3/4 portrait, it seems to me that the shiny and pointy bit on the nose, the adjacent cheek, forehead above and the closest eyebrow + the rh eyeglass are sharp, while the remaining softness might (or might not) be due to narrow dof - for me, not too bad at all for a portrait from a little camera - but i could be wrong (i don't have such a thing, although the lesser mps of my old d40x did produce a similar look with not too much skin texture from nice nikkors) …..
..... and the bokeh portrait is a very happy shot :-) …. ta
