From: "Lawrance Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -the subjects seem to leap out with amazing clarity, and there's -nice "bokeh" or blurriness of the -background. This lens seems to work much much better than my consumer -grade 20-35mm lens - the subjects just seem to be so much sharper.
For those interested, Michael Reichman has posted a fairly thorough, if somewhat technical, discussion of the often misued term "bokeh" on his website www.luminous-landscape.com. While our XX-200/2.8Ls most certainly DO have good bokeh, the description implies far more than simple blurriness of the background. As any student of foreign languages will tell you, some foreign words or expressions, especially those from the east-asian countries, cannot be translated on a simple one-for-one basis with english, . Boke or "bokeh," originating in Japanese, seems to be one of these words, as this article 'lengthily' shows. B.
